Salmon Teriyaki

How To Make Teriyaki Salmon?

I cook salmon on a weekly basis because it is healthy and rich with omega-3 fatty acids, protein and low in calories. Salmon is delicious and healthy, such as this easy salmon teriyaki recipe.

The recipe calls for only four (4) basic ingredients: salmon, soy sauce, mirin, sugar and it’s cooked a skillet on stove top. It’s an easy recipe, just like everyone’s favorite chicken teriyaki.

Salmon on Stove

I love to pan-fry salmon (skin side down) on the stove top. Use a pan or skillet (non-stick preferred) until the skin becomes super crispy. Use low to medium heat on the stove to cook the salmon.

Cover the skillet so the entire fish is cooked through. The end result is moist, tender, perfectly cooked salmon on stove that is bursting with natural sweetness.

Teriyaki Sauce

Homemade teriyaki sauce is the best and you need only 3 ingredients: soy sauce, mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine) and sugar. Soy sauce is the main ingredient; you can’t make teriyaki sauce without it.

You can get mirin at Japanese or Asian stores. You can also buy it online. Cook the teriyaki sauce mixture on low heat in a sauce pan until it thickens.

What Vegatables to Serve with Teriyaki Salmon

I love serving boiled broccoli florets with the salmon. Assemble a rice bowl by filling the bowl with steamed rice, place the salmon on top of the rice, and then drizzle the teriyaki sauce on top.

The rice bowl will make a complete and nutritious meal for lunch or dinner. It’s also great as a bento to school or work.

What Dishes to Serve with this Recipe?

This meal is best served with steamed rice. For a wholesome Japanese meal and easy weeknight dinner, I recommend the following recipes.
