You can make this recipe more complicated, but here's the thing - it's extremely simple. Teriyaki salmon can be cooked in just 10-15 minutes. No understatement! What happened? Almost like a restaurant dish. By the way, due to the fact that it is not very high in calories, the fair sex is very fond of it. In particular, those who follow the figure. Teriyaki salmon is also a great romantic dish for two.

Stock up on groceries

For cooking, take: four fresh salmon steaks (salmon), with peeled scales, but with skin.

You will also need the following: ginger and garlic (in the end we need to get a heaping teaspoon of grated ginger and a tablespoon of crushed garlic), honey, soy sauce, a few tablespoons of rice wine. Everything is ready - you can start.

Salmon teriyaki recipe easy

1. Finely grate a teaspoon of ginger and a tablespoon of garlic (you can use a garlic press).
2. Now we need a good soy sauce and some rice wine. If you do not want to buy it, but want to save money, just add a tablespoon of sugar to soy sauce - it will be fine too (budget option).
3. Ginger, garlic, soy sauce, half a glass of sweet wine, mix in a container, and let it infuse. For sweetness, you still need to add a teaspoon of honey here. Subsequently, we will “evaporate” all this.
4. Now what happened, you need to squeeze through cheesecloth so that there are no pieces. It usually takes a few minutes for the marinade to infuse.

Roasting

Let's take the fish. On both sides, it needs a little s alt and pepper. Add a little olive oil to a frying pan (you can just use a good container with a non-stick coating), heat it up and lay out the steaks. First with the skin down, and after two minutes turn over to the other side. We should get a crispy crust. And fry for another minute or even 30 seconds. Then we put the salmon aside. It's not ready yet.

Evaporate the sauce and glaze the teriyaki salmon

If there is any leftover olive oil, pour it out of the pan. Now pour the previously filtered marinade into the pan. It almost instantly evaporates and turns into glaze. Everything happens quickly. As soon as the icing starts to linger a little on the spoon, we glaze the salmon in it.

You don't need to do this for a long time. Just dip the fish and coat on all sides (or pouron top of this thick mixture). By the way, there is an option when the steaks are not pre-fried, using them raw or lightly s alted. Then you need to glaze the salmon right in the pan over low heat, dipping the pieces in a thick sauce so that they go through a light heat treatment.

Possible garnish

This is the end of the basic recipe for salmon in teriyaki sauce. Indeed, it happened very quickly. Now it's time for the garnish.

Here, too, everything is simple. Fish is best served with vegetables. You can focus on your loved ones, but in our case, let's take carrots and cucumbers. We clean them and cut them into thin long strips - “villi”. The easiest way to do this is with a special paring knife. "Vorsinki" should be mixed and seasoned. What?

You can use Greek yogurt. Or you can make a mixture of lemon juice and olive oil - here everyone comes at their own discretion, to their culinary taste.

How to Serve

Serve teriyaki salmon to the table in portions. On a plate (to keep the oriental entourage, you can use a square-shaped dish) lay out a good handful of salad. And on top of it we put a glazed steak. True, other options are possible. Traditional chopsticks should be used to eat the dish. And you can do with a fork. In general, the dish is incredibly simple: it is prepared quickly and it turns out very tasty. So be sure to try it out. Bon appetit everyone!
