About the Recipe
Salmon has no better friend than teriyaki sauce. Prepare it as I do in this recipe and I thing you'll agree it is the best way to enjoy a good fillet of salmon.
Ingredients
300g /1oz of fresh salmon salmon (skin on)
2 tsp plain flour
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
for the teriyaki sauce:
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp Japanese cooking sake (or sherry, if you have no sake)
2 tbsp soy sauce
4 long stem broccoli
a pinch of salt
450g / 16 oz / 2 portions of cooked rice
Preparation
cut the salmon into 4 fillets (or have your fishmonger do this for you)
sprinkle with the plain flour
heat the vegetable oil in a small / medium frying pan
cook the salmon skin side down for 4-5 mins or until lightly browned
turn the salmon over and cook for 2-3 mins more, then turn the salmon on its side
next, add the sugar, mirin, Japanese cooking sake & soy sauce to the pan. cook for 2-3 minutes. turn the fillets onto their other side and cook for another 2-3 minutes
after a few minutes, the sauce will begin to thicken. give the salmon fillets a final turn to absorb a little more flavour and then remove the pan from the heat (you want the sauce to stay quite loose)
blanch 4 small long stem broccoli and drain
you are now ready to assemble your donburi:
place the cooked rice in two bowls. place 2 fillets of salmon side by side on the rice. add some broccoli and drizzle over the teriyaki sauce
