Japanese Teriyaki Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar in a large bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup of the marinade to a small saucepan and set aside. Add the salmon to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Stir to combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl, then add to the reserved marinade in the saucepan along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture thickens to a glaze consistency, 4 to 5 minutes. (You should have about 1/2 cup.) Reserve half of the sauce for serving and the other half for basting.
• Have ready eight 12-inch metal skewers or soak eight 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the bell pepper to a large microwave-safe bowl, then add a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and microwave until the pepper is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade. Thread the salmon onto the skewers, alternating with the pineapple and bell pepper.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with oil.
• Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with half of the reserved teriyaki sauce, until the salmon is opaque throughout and the vegetables are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with some sesame seeds and scallions and serve the other reserved teriyaki sauce alongside.

Steps:

• Combine orange juice, ginger, onion, teriyaki, lime juice, and garlic, and mix well.
• Marinate salmon in mixture for at least 3 hours.
• Grill or broil salmon.
• While salmon is cooking, strain solids from the remaining marinade, and heat in a small saucepan.
• Bring the marinade to a boil and cook 5-10 minutes.
• Spoon the sauce over the salmon and serve.

Steps:

• For the teriyaki sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat; whisk about 1 to 2 minutes until the sugar dissolves and the sauce bubbles and thickens slightly. Set it aside to use on the salmon and store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
• For the fish: Pat the fish dry with a paper towel, cut into four 3-inch pieces, and season it with salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once you start to see white smoke, lay the fish flesh-side down in the skillet. Move the fish around constantly while cooking to keep it from sticking. When the fish is medium, 4 to 6 minutes, turn with a spatula only once.
• Cook the other side for another minute. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and reduce the heat to low. The sauce will begin to simmer and reduce. Tilt the pan around a few times and turn the fish until it's well coated with the sauce.
• To serve, cut the baby bok choy into quarters and arrange on a platter. Place the salmon over top and drizzle with the sauce from the pan. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and scallions over the salmon. Serve with rice on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven 375 degrees.
• Place salmon fillet on large sheet of thick aluminum foil(or two sheets to add width).
• Add sliced onions and garlic on salmon.
• Gently pour teriyaki marinade/sauce on top.
• Pull up sides of aluminum foil to make a leak free packet.
• Place salmon packet on baking sheet.
• Cook for 35-45 minutes. Check by opening packet slightly (be careful, extremely hot steam!).
• Cut into portions and serve.

Steps:

• Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup of marinade for basting.
• Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag and place salmon into the marinade. Squeeze air out of the bag, seal, and marinate the salmon steaks for at least 1 hour (2 hours for better flavor). Drain and discard used marinade.
• Set oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place salmon steaks into a broiler pan and broil for 5 minutes. Brush steaks with reserved marinade, turn, and broil until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 more minutes. Brush again with marinade.
