Teriyaki Salmon Skewers Recipes

TERIYAKI SALMON KEBABS

Steps:

• Whisk together the mirin, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic and 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar in a large bowl. Transfer 1/2 cup of the marinade to a small saucepan and set aside. Add the salmon to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Stir to combine the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl, then add to the reserved marinade in the saucepan along with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bring to a boil and cook until the mixture thickens to a glaze consistency, 4 to 5 minutes. (You should have about 1/2 cup.) Reserve half of the sauce for serving and the other half for basting.
• Have ready eight 12-inch metal skewers or soak eight 12-inch wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the bell pepper to a large microwave-safe bowl, then add a splash of water and a pinch of salt. Cover and microwave until the pepper is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade. Thread the salmon onto the skewers, alternating with the pineapple and bell pepper.
• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with oil.
• Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally and brushing with half of the reserved teriyaki sauce, until the salmon is opaque throughout and the vegetables are tender, 7 to 9 minutes. Transfer to a serving plate, sprinkle with some sesame seeds and scallions and serve the other reserved teriyaki sauce alongside.

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.
