Teriyaki Salmon

I love being able to take advantage of salmon meals when the Mr isn’t home and this was the perfect opportunity … ahead of my mom’s birthday because that woman also loves salmon! Check this one out that has a little kick!

Spicy Asian Sauce Ingredients

  • 1-2-3/4 Cup Soya Sauce

  • 2 Heaping Tbsp. Chili Paste

  • 4-5 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

  • 1 Tbsp. Oyster Sauce

  • 7 Cloves of Garlic, minced

Salmon Ingredients

  • 2 Salmon Fillets

  • 1/2 Tsp. Salt

  • 1/2 Tsp. Pepper

  • 1/2 Tsp. Garlic Powder

  • 1/2 Cup Green Onions, chopped

  • Sesame Seeds for garnish

  • Cooking Spray

Directions

  • Combine all the sauce ingredients in a small pot and turn on medium heat until just bubbling then reduce to simmer and thicken. Allow to sit there until you need it.

  • Spray a medium pan with cooking spray then warm over medium heat. Once it has heated as desired, add the salmon fillets, season both sides and allow the salmon to cook/sear about 5-6 minutes per side depending.

  • Once the salmon is essentially done, reduce the heat the drizzle the teriyaki sauce over top, ensuring the salmon is fully covered. Allow to finish.

  • Serve with fresh veggies and rice. Once plated, sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions. You can even drizzle with some sriracha for extra heat.

MAKE IT EASY - Use a pre-bottled teriyaki sauce to save time.

MAKE IT EXTRA - Grill the salmon on some tinfoil on the BBQ or on a cedar plank and brush the teriyaki sauce on it.
