Teriyaki grilled salmon is a delectable dish that integrates traditional Japanese flavors of soy sauce and sesame oil. This simple and quick recipe brings a delightful balance of savory and slightly sweet notes, perfect for a healthy and flavorful meal. With just a handful of ingredients, you can prepare a restaurant-quality dish right at home.
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, sugar, minced garlic, and onion powder. Mix well until the sugar has dissolved completely and all ingredients are well incorporated.
Place the salmon fillet in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring that it is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 2 hours to avoid over-marinating.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375-400°F (190-200°C). If using a grill pan or griddle on a stovetop, also preheat it over medium-high heat.
Lightly oil the grill grates or the surface of your grill pan to prevent sticking. Remove the salmon from the marinade and let any excess marinade drip off.
Once the salmon is fully cooked, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a minute. Serve hot, paired with your favorite sides such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
For an extra touch, sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top of the grilled salmon before serving.
Tips:
- Ensure the salmon is fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- Marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the fish.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat before cooking to achieve a nice sear.
- Brush the grill with oil or spray with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for safe consumption.
- Allow the salmon to rest for a few minutes after grilling to let the juices redistribute.
Grilled to perfection, this Teriyaki salmon is a flavorful and nutritious dish that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with your favorite side dishes. Whether you're cooking for yourself or entertaining guests, this easy recipe is sure to impress.
