Dificultad

Easy

Salmon teriyaki is built on balance: soy, mirin, sake (or dry white), and a touch of sugar reduced to a glossy coat. A hard pan gives the edges texture while the centre stays moist.

Serve with rice and greens. For restaurant sushi and fish rooms, browse our Tokyo and Japan listings.

Elaboración

  1. 1

    Mix the glaze

    Stir soy, mirin, sake, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.

  2. 2

    Sear the salmon

    Pat dry and season lightly with salt. Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high. Cook skin-side down 3–4 minutes until crisp, then flip 1–2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Glaze

    Pour in the sauce. Reduce 1–2 minutes, spooning over the fish until glossy. Do not burn the sugar.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Plate with rice, sesame seeds, and spring onion.

Consejos del chef

  • Dry salmon = better sear.
  • Pull the fish slightly early — residual heat finishes it under the glaze.
  • If the glaze tightens too fast, splash in a tablespoon of water.
