Simplee Dinner Ideas : Salmon Teriyaki


Salmon is a popular food in Japan and now it has become the favourite among us because of its high protein, high omega-3 fatty acids, and high vitamin D content. Salmon can be eaten raw and cooked, and I love both.


I came across these lovely Salmon Fillet at the supermarket last week and I bought 2 pieces. I have to make a dish that will attract Olivia as well. So finally I have decided to cook Salmon Teriyaki, because its sweet sauce will definitely gets thumb up from Olivia. I have modified it a little, so that it is easy & simple to prepare. 

Simplee Idea Dinner : SalmonTeriyaki

Preparation time: 15min
Cooking time: 20min

Ingredients 

2 Salmon Fillets (with skin)
3 tbsp Olive Oil (frying salmon)
Salt, pepper & oregano flakes (to marinate salmon)
Salt to garnish the salmon

Teriyaki Sauce
1/4 cup soya sauce
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup sugar
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
3 tbsp mapel syrup/honey (optional)

Methods

1) Heat frying pan, add olive oil when the pan is hot. 

2) Fry salmon with it's skin side down for 2 minutes then change the other side and another 2 minutes. Salmon tend to get overcook very fast. If your fillet is thin (less than 2 inches) you may fry it for 90 seconds instead of 2 minutes. Set aside.

3) Prepare the sauce by mixing all the teriyaki sauce ingredient in a bowl then cook then in a skillet till sugar dissolved. I cook it for 1 minute in high flame just to thicken the texture.

4) Use cooking brush to apply the sauce over the salmon. 

5) Serve with rice. Bon-appetite.
