How to make homemade Teriyaki Salmon ?

Cooking Time : 20min
Level : Easy
Serves : 2

Ingredients :

Salmon steak : 2, 12 oz, wash and pat dry

For the sauce 

Garlic : 4 cloves, grated

Ginger : 1/2 inch piece, grated

Natural Vinegar / Rice Vinegar : 2 tbsp 

Soya sauce : 2 tbsp

Honey / Brown Sugar : 2 tbsp
Paprika / red chilly powder : 1/4 tsp

Salt : 1/4 tsp

Pepper : 1/2 tsp

Sesame oil / Vegetable oil : 2 tbsp

Method :

1. Combine all ingredients listed under "for the sauce", in a pan and allow to boil in low-medium flame for 4 minutes. This is our homemade teriyaki sauce. Keep aside.

2. Add salt, and our homemade Teriyaki sauce to an oven proof dish and add the pat dried salmon. Cover tightly and Keep refrigerated for 30minutes( you can marinate teriyaki salmon in a zip-lock bag/ any airtight container ). 

3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F(200 degrees). Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until easily flaked with a fork..

4. Sweet and tangy Teriyaki Salmon is ready to serve. It goes well with brown rice, Mexican black beans. 

Notes :

• Never marinate fish more than 30 minutes as it is totally different from meat. 
• You can also grill the teriyaki salmon.
• If you dont have fresh Salmon, do not make this dish. Defrosting and again marinating in freezer will spoil the fish.
• This dish is slightly sweet, those who doesn't like the combo of fish+ honey can also skip the recipe :)
