Make Homemade Salmon Teriyaki Your Family Will Love

Making a new dish that is likely to become a family favorite is always a good idea, and salmon teriyaki is one to try. If you flavor it with homemade teriyaki sauce, you can add only healthy ingredients and cut the sodium content if you desire. You can find all the flavor ingredients you need from your favorite online Japanese market – and it takes only a few things, including soy sauce. Good recipes work with any kind of salmon, but many foodies prefer Chinook or Atlantic for their moistness. If also a better technique to make sure you cut the salmon filets to the same thickness, so they cook more evenly.

Remembering some small details when you make salmon teriyaki will ensure it turns out better. For example, coat the fillets with potato starch. A nice coating helps the salmon soak up the sauce and have a nicer flavor. You can also coat it with arrowroot or tapioca starch, but avoid corn starch because it will make the fish gummy. The dish calls for your favorite Japanese soy sauce, and you can also use tamari if you prefer gluten-free sauce. When you select your sake, the rule of thumb is to use one that is good enough for drinking. Avoid cooking sake because too often it is flavored grain alcohol and not good.

As you're reviewing Japanese teriyaki sauce recipes, be looking for one that has equal parts of soy sauce, ginger, and sake. The best and most-loved sauces don't have extra ingredients, so be wary about any additional ingredients like vinegar, sesame oil, fruit juice, garlic, etc. When you're cooking the sauce properly, no thickener is required because the sugars thicken naturally as the sauce cooks. A dash of ginger juice is an excellent way to suppress any fishy flavor while not interfering with the teriyaki sauce taste. Nice finishing touches are sesame seeds and chopped scallions on top of the salmon filets.

A few other helpful cooking tips for your homemade salmon teriyaki include patting the filets dry with paper towels before coating them with potato starch. When you lightly fry the filets, do so only until they become opaque about one-third of the way up—cook the same way on both sides. Before you add the teriyaki sauce to the pan after frying, wipe out all the oil. It's less clean-up if you cook the sauce in the same pan after you fry the fish. You want to sook until the sugars dissolve entirely. When you have a delicious batch of sauce ready, re-add the salmon filets and coat them thoroughly with sauce.
