Ingredients
 
 

For the salmon

  • 300 g salmon cut into fillets
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • flour to coat the salmon
  • 0.5 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp sake replace with mirin

For the teriyaki

  • 1 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp sake you can replace with more mirin
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

Additionally

  • 2 portions white rice
  • 2 portions vegetables like green bean gomaae (see recipe below)

Instructions
 

Cooking the salmon

  • Cut the salmon into as many fillets as the portions you are making. The best fillet is relatively thin and fast to cook.
  • Rinse the fillets and pat them dry with paper towels. Then season with salt and pepper.
  • Coat the fillets with flour.
  • Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. When the butter is starting to melt, add the vegetable oil.
  • Add the fillets into the pan and cook for about 3 minutes until that side is golden brown and crispy. Flip.
  • Add the mirin (or sake) meant for the salmon and cover the pan. Let cook for about 3 minutes until cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan but keep the pan on the stove.

For teriyaki

  • While the salmon is cooking, combine the teriyaki ingredients in a bowl. Make sure the sugar dissolves.
  • When the salmon is cooked through, add the teriyaki mix onto the pan and increase the heat slightly. Bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, add the fillets back onto the pan. Coat the salmon with the teriyaki mix.
  • When the teriyakin mix is thick and the salmon is well-coated, remove from heat and plate the salmon with the rice and vegetables.

Notes

  • It is best to use a pan that you are able to cover with a lid.
  • The teriyaki mix turns thick quite fast after boiling, so be careful not to overcook the salmon and teriyaki.
  • You can use any vegetables and cook them in any way you like but the linked recipe for green beans fits very well with the salmon.
