• 4 salmon fillets cut into two equal-sized pieces
• Oil, for searing

Teriyaki sauce

• 5 tablespoons mizkan (bonito flavored)
• 3 tablespoons mirin
• 3 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

METHOD:

• Add all the ingredients in the Teriyaki Sauce in a saucepan. Stir to blend well.
• Heat up the saucepan over medium heat. As soon as the teriyaki sauce bubbles and thickens, remove it from heat. Let cool.
• Marinate the salmon with half the Teriyaki Sauce in a sealed plastic bag for 4-6 hours, or best overnight.
• Pre-heat the oven to 200οC.
• Heat up a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the oil and pan-sear the marinated salmon until the surface is charred, about 1-2 minutes.
• Brush the remaining Teriyaki Sauce on the seared salmon and transfer them to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.

• Remove from the oven, drizzle the leftover Teriyaki Sauce on the salmon and serve immediately with steamed rice.
