Teriyaki Salmon with Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

February 19, 2020 by Zoe Nguyen-Patalano Leave a Comment

Salmon Teriyaki Recipe

We eat too much meat in our house – lots of chicken and beef. So this week, I wanted to mix it up a little and make Teriyaki Salmon. It’s so juicy, bursting with delicious flavor and can be enjoyed over a bed of white rice or along side some crisp vegetables.

My husband is part Japanese, so he loves teriyaki anything. I love fish, especially salmon. It’s so good for you. We buy salmon from Costco that we keep in our deep freeze. It’s individually sealed, and it’s super convenient when cooking for one, or only a few people.

Salmon Teriyaki Recipe

Salmon teriyaki is very easy to make. You flour each side of a salmon filet (you can use almond flour or regular all-purpose flour and it will still taste the same), pan fry it, and then add the teriyaki sauce

Also, I love making homemade teriyaki sauce from scratch. I don’t like the taste of teriyaki sauce that you can find in bottles at the grocery store, so I decided to make homemade Japanese teriyaki sauce using staples we have in the kitchen.

Homemade teriyaki sauce is so easy to make, and only has 4 ingredients – sake (or rice wine, if you don’t have sake), mirin (a must in any Japanese dish), sugar (white or brown sugar work great), and soy sauce.

Salmon Teriyaki Recipe

We usually enjoy teriyaki salmon over rice and served with a bowl of miso soup. So delicious and easy for a quick weeknight dinner.
