Ingredients
- small knob ginger
- 2 tablespoons sake
- 450 grams salmon about 1-inch thick, filets
- 1 tablespoon potato starch
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons cane sugar evaporated
Instructions
- Grate the ginger and then squeeze about ¼ teaspoon of ginger juice out of the pulp. Add this to the sake and then set it aside.
- Use paper towels to dry off the surface of the salmon.
- Add the potato starch to a tea strainer and dust every surface of the salmon with an even coating of potato starch.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat until it's hot, but not scorching hot. Add the oil and then the coated salmon. Fry the salmon undisturbed until it's cooked about ⅓ of the way up one side.
- Flip the salmon over and then fry it until it is cooked about ⅓ of the way through on the other side.
- Remove the salmon from the pan, and use a paper towel and tongs to wipe out all of the oil.
- Add the sake, soy sauce, and sugar to the pan and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is boiling.
- Return the salmon to the pan and repeatedly flip the salmon until it is glazed in a thick layer of shiny sauce.
- Serve the salmon teriyaki over rice with any remaining sauce drizzled over it.
