This classic asian preparation of salmon will make a quick dinner any time. You can bake or broil, but I prefer to pan sear. Served along side some sautéed zucchini and a bowl of rice it is a complete meal.
Teriyaki Salmon
Servings
6 Servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 6 salmon fillets
- toasted sesame seeds optional
Instructions
- Prepare salmon by removing the skin, if necessary. Lay fillets out on a plate. Brush both sides with teriyaki sauce and let marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Heat a large pan over medium high heat, and place the salmon top side down into the hot pan. Cook about 5 minutes, turn over and cook for another 5 minutes. If your salmon is thick and you prefer it well done, place in a hot oven to finish cooking.
- Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds before serving if desired.
I made this and it was good. Quick to prepare and the ingredients were already in my pantry. Some of the other dishes this week Had ingredients that I cannot get (kosher) in my local grocery and I had no time to travel 45 minutes each way to pick them up.
I used this recipe (quadrupled at least) for a shul dinner appetizer. cut the filets smaller. Huge success and great raves!
This is an easy to prepare and simple dish. I think the sauce measurements are off – too low. There’s enough to brush on the salmon but nothing left over to marinate in. Because of that, the pan sear cooked most of the sauce off, leaving a slightly flavored fish.
I’d increase both the amount of sauce and the marinating time.
this dish is so simple but yet so tasty the salmon tastes great
Easy, healthy, and colorful/pretty plated.
I did not have rice vinegar, so I used balsamic instead. Excellent. Thanx.
i made this in the oven on high heat & it came out great! i would next time probbly use lemon juice instead of the rice vinager
