[RECIPE IN SHOW NOTES] 



Simon does love fish for dinner, but sadly, having now moved to regional VIC, he doesn’t have the same access to all the beautiful fish markets, mongers etc he used to. Sob. So... how is he getting that fishy fix? Well, often it’s frozen salmon, of course! Don’t knock it – as an ingredient it works wonders, you just need to defrost it properly and then you’re away. This salmon teriyaki recipe has become a go-to midweek fish dinner and if it isn’t already in your repertoire, well, it SHOULD BE.

Recipe

Combine 1/2 cup sake, 1/4 cup mirin, and 1/4 cup soy sauce in a small bowl; set teriyaki sauce aside. 

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season your salmon fillets lightly with salt.  

Working in batches (2 at a time), cook the salmon skin-side down until the skin is brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Turn and cook until the other side is just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.  

Pour the fat out of the skillet, then add the sauce and boil it off until reduced by about two-thirds (about 4 minutes), then add the salmon skin side up and cook for a further 2 minutes, spooning that sauce over until the sauce is syrupy. Transfer to a plate and serve with white rice, noodles or simple salad.
