🧂 Ingrediente
- 4 Salmon fillets(about 150-180g each, skin on)
- 60 ml Soy sauce(low-sodium preferred)
- 60 ml Mirin(Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 60 ml Sake(cooking sake or dry sake)

- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil(or other neutral cooking oil)
- for serving Cooked Japanese rice(sushi rice or short-grain rice recommended)

👨🍳 Instrucțiuni
- 1
Prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar. Whisk well to dissolve the sugar. Place over medium-low heat and stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is just warm. Do not boil. Remove from heat and set aside.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 2
Prepare the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels, especially the skin. This is crucial for achieving crispy skin. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired (soy sauce is already salty).
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Sear the salmon skin-side down: Heat the vegetable oil in a large, non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side down into the hot oil. Press down gently on each fillet with a spatula for the first 30 seconds to prevent curling. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes, or until the skin is deeply golden brown and crispy, and you can see the cook line moving up the sides of the fillet.
⏱️ 5-7 minutes - 4
Flip and glaze: Reduce the heat to medium. Flip the salmon fillets. Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet around the salmon. Let the sauce bubble and thicken, spooning it over the salmon fillets as they cook for another 4-6 minutes. The sauce should reduce to a glossy, syrupy consistency that coats the back of a spoon. The salmon should be cooked through but still moist and flaky.
⏱️ 4-6 minutes - 5
Serve: Remove the salmon from the skillet. Serve immediately over hot cooked Japanese rice. Spoon any remaining teriyaki glaze from the pan over the fish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions, if desired.

💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste
- ✓For the crispiest skin, ensure the salmon is completely dry before searing and don't overcrowd the pan.
- ✓The teriyaki sauce is ready when it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon and has a glossy sheen. Be careful not to reduce it too much, or it can become too thick and burn.
- ✓Salmon is best when cooked to medium or medium-well. Overcooking will result in dry, less flavorful fish. The internal temperature should reach around 50-55°C (125-130°F) for medium.
- ✓If you don't have sake, you can substitute dry sherry or white wine, though the flavor will be slightly different.
