Sakana no Teriyaki is a delightful Japanese seafood dish featuring grilled fish glazed with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce. This dairy-free recipe highlights the natural flavors of the fish while offering a satisfying and healthy meal option.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 pieces (150g each)
• Soy sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Mirin - 2 tablespoons
• Sake - 2 tablespoons
• Brown sugar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon, for garnish

Steps

1. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.
2. In a shallow dish, place the salmon fillets and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them, allowing them to marinate for 15 minutes.
3. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
5. Flip the fillets and pour the reserved teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Remove from heat and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
7. Garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
