Adapted from a recipe found on Diabetes Australia.
There are many ways to cook the salmon for this dish... baked, fried, steamed or poached... The method for the fish is not all that important in this recipe, because today we are making homemade teriyaki sauce so you don't have to worry about sugar overload found in the commercial brands. For today's version I'm frying/steaming two portions of Atlantic farm raised salmon. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
- 2 6 oz salmon filets - skin off
- black pepper to taste
- 1/2 tbsp Wondra flour
- cooking spray
- 1/2 tbsp sake
- 1/2 tbsp mirin
- 1/2 tbsp sugar - optionally use your favorite sweetener equivalent
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
Combine all of the sauce ingredients and mix well until
sugar is dissolved. If sugar is not dissolving, microwave the sauce mixture for
30 seconds and stir until sugar dissolved.
Pepper both sides of the filets, coat with flour and fry covered,
spine side up in a lightly sprayed skillet for 6-7 minutes over medium/medium low
heat.
Add the sauce into the skillet and continue heat for about 6-7
minutes or until the sauce is boiling. Once sauce is boiling turn the
salmon over to make sure all sides are coated with the sauce. By now the sauce
should have thickened. It is ready to be served.
Mixed vegetables and a green salad pair well with this dish.
Blessed be... and happy cooking!
