Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place 2 yellowtail fillets in a sealable bag and add 1 tsp soy sauce and 1 tsp mirin. Seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp sake and 1 tsp sugar until the sugar has dissolved. Set by the stove for later.
  3. Once 15 minutes have passed, transfer the yellowtail fillets to a container and pat them dry with kitchen paper.
  4. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp cornstarch, making sure both sides are lightly covered. Pat off the excess before frying.
  5. Heat a pan on medium and add ½ tbsp cooking oil. Once hot, place the fillets in the pan and fry for 2 minutes on each side.
  6. Increase the heat to high and pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan and fry until thickened to a syrup-like consistency. Turn the fish to make sure both sides are covered with sauce (about 30 seconds each side).
  7. Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and serve.
  8. Enjoy!
