Glazed pan-fried salmon — Japan.
Equipment: Frying pan
Measures and names
Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- Sesame seeds and spring onion (scallion)
- Stir-fried greens, to serve
Optional extras
- 1–2 tsp sweetener
Method
- Pat the salmon dry. Pan-fry skin-side down for 3–4 minutes, until crisp, then 2–3 minutes on the flesh side. Remove to a plate.
- Add the soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and sweetener (if using) to the pan.
- Bubble for 1–2 minutes, until glossy and slightly syrupy.
- Return the salmon and turn to coat in the glaze.
- Scatter with sesame seeds and spring onion and serve with stir-fried greens. No added salt — the glaze covers it.
Swaps and tips
Bottled teriyaki is full of sugar — this lighter glaze uses just a touch of sweetener. Serve with stir-fried greens, not rice. Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free.
