Teriyaki Salmon

It's Friday again! This has been a busy week and I'm glad I had the chance of having vegetable+fruit juice three times (1litre each time). Surprisingly, it tastes really good and I have much more clarity than usual.

In the effort of eating healthy, we eat fish once or twice a week and usually Friday is one of it. Here's a teriyaki salmon recipe I always use.

Summary of recipe:

Prep:

1. Prepare 350-400gm of salmon, cut into 2-3 serving portions. Pat dry.

2. Season salmon with sea salt and pepper for a few minutes.

3. Coat salmon with flour - thinly is ok.

4. In a bowl, mix 1 Tbsp Sake/rice wine, 1 Tbsp mirin, 1 Tbsp sugar, 2 Tbsp soy sauce.

Sear:

5. In a pan, using medium heat, swirl in 1/2 Tbsp oil.

6. Sear salmon (skin down) on the pan for 3 minutes each side. The flour coating keeps the salmon's natural flavor within.

7. Swirl in 1Tbsp of butter.

8. When both sides of salmon are medium brown, add 1Tbsp of Sake or rice wine, place a lid over the pan and let it steam for 3 minutes.

9. Remove salmon from pan.

Sauce: 

10. Add prepared sauce mixture into hot pan.

11. Return salmon into the pan and as sauce thickens, spoon sauce onto the fish.

12. Turn off heat when sauce is thick. Plate and serve warm.
