Nicoles Teriyaki Salmon Recipes

TERIYAKI SALMON SKEWERS

Steps:

• Whisk together soy and hoisin sauces, vinegar and garlic in a bowl.
• Slice salmon fillet across the grain into thin strips. Add to soy mixture and let stand for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
• Thread each salmon strip onto small metal or soaked wooden skewers. Place skewers on baking sheet and broil, turning and basting with marinade once, for about 4 minutes or until golden and fish flakes easily when tested. Alternatively, cook skewers on oiled grill pan on grill.
• Before serving, sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds, if using.

TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Cut salmon crosswise into 2.
• Combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl and pour over fillets. Marinade for 2-4 hours in in the fridge.
• Heat grill or broiler.
• Arrange the salmon skin side down on hot grill.
• Repeat brushing with left over sauce every 2 minutes.
• Should be cooked through in no more then 8-10 minutes.

MICROWAVE TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• Place salmon skin side down (if using fillets) in shallow microwave-safe dish, glass or plastic.
• Combine the rest of the ingredients, except scallions, and pour over fish.
• Cover with plastic wrap and marinate at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes.
• The longer it marinates, the more pronounced the flavor.
• Turn fish once or twice while marinating, leaving it skin side up on the last turn (if using fillets).
• Making sure the plastic wrap seal is tight, microwave on high for 7 minutes.
• Let it stand in the microwave for an additional 3 minutes, covered, while you plate the spinach or other veggies.
• Check one fillet to ensure it is cooked to your liking (All microwaves cook a little differently; I rather like medium rare salmon if it turns out that way, but others may not-- if too rare, just pop it back in the microwave, sealed, and zap it for a minute or so).
• Plate the salmon and sprinkle with the scallions.

GINGER TERIYAKI SALMON

Steps:

• PREHEAT grill to medium-high. Make drainage holes in a sheet of Reynolds Wrap Release Non-Stick Foil with a large grilling fork; set aside.
• PLACE salmon steaks in a shallow dish. Combine teriyaki sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, sesame oil and red pepper flakes; reserve ½ cup for basting. Pour remaining marinade over fish, turn to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• REMOVE fish from marinade. Discard marinade.
• PLACE foil sheet with holes on grill rack with non-stick (dull) side towards food; immediately place salmon on foil.
• GRILL 3 to 5 minutes on each side in covered grill or until fish flakes when tested with a fork, brushing with marinade after turning.

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.
