Spicy Salmon Teriyaki
The secret to this wonderful salmon teriyaki recipe is tossing the salmon filets in cornstarch before cooking. It helps build a crust that the deliciously spicy sauce can really stick to.
INGREDIENTS
INSTRUCTIONS
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and honey.
-
Place salmon filets on a plate and season salmon filets with 1 teaspoon salt, followed by the cornstarch. Make sure the salmon filets are properly coated.
-
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook salmon in a single layer, undisturbed, until nicely browned underneath, 2–3 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over salmon and continue to cook, gently turning salmon halfway through, until sauce is thickened slightly and clinging to salmon, about 1 minute. (Sauce will bubble when first added and will then calm down.)
-
Drizzle sauce from pan over salmon filets to serve, and top with scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
Other ways to making Teriyaki Salmon
When preparing Teriyaki Salmon, start by seasoning the fillets with salt and pepper. Add a splash of orange juice to the pan, and then add the salmon. Sear the salmon until the skin forms a golden crust, about 6 to 8 minutes. When the salmon is cooked through, add the teriyaki sauce. Garnish the salmon with green onions and sesame seeds and serve immediately.
After preparing the sauce, place the salmon on a baking sheet and brush it with the remaining Teriyaki sauce. Then, drizzle the vegetables with the remaining sauce and broil for 3 minutes. When the fish is done, you can serve it with rice, as it can be quite messy to handle. This recipe also makes a great appetizer or side dish. It’s best served with a small bowl of rice and some green onions.
Before cooking Teriyaki Salmon, make sure the fish is room temperature. The skin is not necessary for baking; it’s just for flavor. Baked salmon with the skin on will flake off easily. Be sure to brush the fish with teriyaki sauce after every 30 minutes to ensure that the fish is cooked throughout. You can use it as a substitute for canned salmon in many dishes. For the sauce, you can use either fresh or dried Japanese soy sauce.
To prepare Teriyaki salmon, first make a teriyaki sauce with the ingredients. To make a teriyaki sauce, combine the marinade with water and cornstarch. Once the salmon is cooked, sprinkle the fish with sesame seeds, green onions, and sesame seeds. After cooking, place the salmon over the teriyaki sauce and serve it with rice. It’s not difficult to prepare this dish!
Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency, you can now prepare the salmon and bake it. To do so, you can combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat for about five minutes. Once the salmon is well-marinated, you can brush it with the sauce. Then, cook it in the oven for about 15 to 18 minutes. You can also use foil to bake the salmon for convenience. Then, serve the delicious teriyaki and enjoy!
