Ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- ½ tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornflour
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 cm fresh ginger
Instructions
- To make the sauce, combine the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger and garlic in a bowl.
- Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Add the vegetable oil to a pan , arrange the salmon fillets skin down, and fry for 2-3 minutes until the skin crisps up, then turn over, and fry for another 2-3 minutes (can be done in 2 batches or at once if you have a large pan).
- Arrange the salmon fillets on a baking tray that has been lined with kitchen foil, then drizzle half of the sauce over.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until cooked though.
- Combine the cornflour with 1 tablespoon of cold water, mix well, then add it to the teriyaki sauce.
- Add the sauce and cornflour mixture to a pan set over a medium heat, and whisk for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the salmon fillets are baked, coat them with the thickened teriyaki sauce, and serve with sesame seeds if you wish, and with the broccoli on a bed of rice.
