Teriyaki Salmon

This is a well-known and classic Japanese dish, and I think teriyaki sauce works best with salmon. However, I find, in many places in the UK that the salmon is been cooked too long and is dry. I love it when it’s a juicy piece of salmon covered by the sweet teriyaki sauce, you can also add some ginger to add a hint of spice.

Key Point:
Is to pan fry the salmon and add the sauce at the end. This way you control the cooking of the salmon and ensure the sauce doesn't get burnt.
