Easy Pan Seared Teriyaki Salmon Food

TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Note: If using skin on salmon, I recommend to take an extra step of searing the skin first before adding sauce and placing in the oven. This will give the sauce and the salmon better tasting results because less fat will melt into the sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 425°.
• Make sure the there are no scales left of the salmon skin and rub the skin with some oil.
• Preheat a cast iron skillet, or another cooking pan that can safely go from stove-top to the oven, over medium-high heat.
• Add a little bit of oil and place salmon into the skillet, skin down.
• Let it sear for about a minute or a minute and a half.
• Whisk all ingredients for the teriyaki sauce in a bowl.
• Use a fish spatula to loosen the salmon off the pan and pour in the teriyaki sauce, pouring it over salmon.
• Transfer the skillet into the oven right away and bake for 18-20 minutes, depending on the size and thickness of salmon. Cooked salmon should be 145° internal temperature. (If you want medium to medium-well doneness, cook to 125°-130°)
• Take salmon out of the oven and out of the pan so it doesn't continue to cook.
• Serve salmon on a bed of rice topped with some more sauce, scallions, and sesame seeds.

EASY PAN-SEARED TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Season both sides of each salmon fillet with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Heat a frying pan or a skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is at the proper temperature for pan-frying (see notes), add cooking oil to coat the surface. Allow the oil to heat up (about 10 - 15 seconds).
• Carefully place the salmon portions into the pan, skin side up first.
• Sear for 3 - 5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of your salmon. Be careful not to overcook your salmon. It should flake easily and be slightly firm to the touch.
• Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside to rest.
• Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining the water, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar and cornstarch. Make sure to stir well till there are no more cornstarch clumps.
• Bring the sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. As soon as the sauce thickens (it should be about the same consistency as maple syrup), remove the saucepan from the heat.
• Place the cooked salmon on a serving plate, then drizzle the teriyaki sauce over each piece.
• Top with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, then serve with steamed rice.

TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup of marinade for basting.
• Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag and place salmon into the marinade. Squeeze air out of the bag, seal, and marinate the salmon steaks for at least 1 hour (2 hours for better flavor). Drain and discard used marinade.
• Set oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Place salmon steaks into a broiler pan and broil for 5 minutes. Brush steaks with reserved marinade, turn, and broil until fish is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 more minutes. Brush again with marinade.
