Japanese Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

Mention salmon, and what pops to mind is a Japanese recipe. Between teppanyaki salmon and teriyaki salmon, this recipe focuses on teriyaki salmon. Either a dry style or coated in a thick sauce using soy sauce as the base. It’s garnished with crispy sesame seeds and spring onions (also known as scallions or green onions) for a fresh, crisp, slightly sweet, and aromatic flavor.

This recipe is a fusion between Indian-style salmon and Japanese-style salmon. Without the soy sauce base, it becomes grilled salmon, masala salmon or even Japanese grilled salmon. Japanese teriyaki salmon is an easy cooking technique relying on pantry staples (PUMPKIN SOUP). 

The recipe is versatile: the teriyaki sauce can also be used with other vegetable dishes like steamed daikon or Japanese-style aubergine, as well as other types of fish (FISH HEAD CURRY). 

 

Crispy-skinned, mildly sweet and tangy Japanese teriyaki salmon, sprinkled with crispy sesame seeds and spring onions, is uplifting to the taste buds. Paired with steamed rice and a simple salad, as a complete Japanese meal.
