Salmon Teriyaki

Salmon Teriyaki

Quick, easy and tasty salmon teriyaki in a homemade teriyaki sauce.

Lately I have been trying to include more fish in my meal plans and teriyaki salmon is definitely one of my favourite ways to go! Salmon teriyaki is a super quick and easy meal where you simply marinate the salmon in a homemade teriyaki sauce and then broil or grill it! Not including the marinate time, salmon teriyaki takes less than 15 minutes to put together making it perfect for busy weeknight meals and it is also sure to impress dinner guests!
Traditional teriyaki sauce is made by combining equal parts soy sauce, mirin and sake along with enough sugar to get it to the desired sweetness. The sauce is simply combined and the simmered to thicken and to cook off the alcohol. Once you have the basics of teriyaki sauce down you can change things up by doing things like replacing the sweetener or adding ingredients like ginger, etc. With teriyaki sauce being so easy to make at home you will never need to buy another bottled version again!
Note: Mirin is a sweetened sake and you should should be able to find a non-alcohol version in the Asian or sushi section of most grocery stores.

If you like things spicy then a drizzle of sriracha mayo is a must!

    Wow, I really like what I see in your blog! My food is boring too, but I also don’t know how to cook so I microwave almost everything, and I’ve got 300 cookbooks I’ve never even touched (I bought only the ones with photos, especially step-by-step photos), but I’ve got to start somewhere. I like the photos of what the final dish looks like, but I’m more likely to make an attempt if I see step by step info and photos, like in your link to the original Greek dolmade recipe, so I’ve bookmarked that page too. I was looking for images of grapes, saw a dolmades photo in image search, that photo led to your blog. I’m especially partial to anything with salmon, I always order that in one dish or another in restaurants but I’d like to learn how to cook it at home. I’ve bookmarked your blog, I’ll definitely be coming back here! 🙂

    I discovered recently that you can't go wrong with molasses in an Asian sauce… I made it on chicken wings, but I bet it'd be great on salmon too!

    md: Brown sugar works well in place of the regular sugar and it has that hit of molasses flavour so adding molasses would also be great. A touch of molasses is also great in chicken fried rice!
