Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 pieces of fresh salmon fillets
    • Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel for a better sear.
  • 1 tsp of salt (optional)
  • 1 tsp of pepper
  • 2 tbsp of flour
    • This helps create a nice golden crust on the salmon when frying.

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin (a type of sweet Japanese rice wine)
  • 1.5 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1 clove of garlic, grated

Instructions

Step 1:

Prepare the salmon by patting both sides dry with paper towels. Lightly season the fillets with salt and pepper, then coat them with a thin layer of flour. The flour gives the salmon a crispy exterior when seared.

Step 2:

Heat a pan over medium-high heat, adding a drizzle of oil. Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Sear the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until it turns golden brown. Remove the salmon from the pan and set it aside.

Step 3:

Make the teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic in the same pan. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 30 seconds on medium-low heat.

Step 4:

Return the salmon to the pan, spooning the teriyaki sauce over the fish as it continues to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Let the sauce reduce slightly and coat the salmon fillets for that glossy finish.

Optional Step 5:

For added flavor, you can cook vegetables such as broccoli, mushrooms, or snap peas in the remaining teriyaki sauce to create a wholesome side dish.

Equipment

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for the best texture and flavor. Frozen salmon can work, but fresh fillets provide a much better taste and sear.
  • Don’t overcook the salmon. Overcooking will dry out the fish, so keep an eye on it to ensure it remains tender and juicy.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the sauce by adding or reducing the amount of sugar, depending on your preference.
