Best Grilled Salmon Recipe

with Teriyaki-style Glaze

This has to be the best Grilled Salmon Recipe. Not only is it delicious, but it is simplicity, itself, to prepare.

The Japanese Teriyaki-style sauce is a lovely twist and is further enhanced by the crushed coriander seeds. Sake is Japanese rice wine and mirin is a kind of sweeter rice wine with a distinctive flavor. This is an ideal dish if you are following a healthy diet plan or low fat weight loss program. In all, it is the easiest of salmon fillet recipes.

This recipe can be grilled or baked - if you go the baked route, do so at a high heat (400° F / 200° C) for 5 - 10 minutes.

Easy

Preparation time: 5 minutes

Cooking time: 5 - 10 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 lb 4oz / 600g salmon, cut into 4 fillet portions

2 tablespoons sake

¼ cup soy sauce

¼ cup mirin

2 tablespoons dark sugar

1 tablespoon coriander seeds, crushed

You will need a greased baking sheet.

Method:

Heat the grill to a high temperature.
In a pot, mix together the sake, soy sauce, mirin and sugar. Heat gently until the sugar dissolves and then simmer until the mixture thickens - about 3 - 5 minutes.
Brush this mixture over the salmon fillets. Sprinkle over the crushed coriander seeds.
Grill the fillets for 5 - 10 minutes, depending on the heat of your grill. Check the fillets after a few minutes and baste with any extra sauce.
To my taste, the salmon is ready when the outside is cooked, but the inside is slightly underdone. You may cook yours until it is cooked all the way through if desired.
Serve with mashed potatoes and a big salad or fresh asparagus.
