A Quick Recipe

This is a recipe blog to share with mummies who have little time to cook in between minding the kids and household chores but prefer to eat in than out.

Teriyaki Salmon

1. Cut Salmon fillet into chunks with skin intact (use the bonelesstail portion)
2. Heat some oil in a skillet pan (preferably olive oil or canola oil for health consideration)
3. Sear the salmon chunks on one side for 2 minutes, then turn over and repeat for 2 mins
4. Remove from pan & drain on paper towel
5. Stir fry chopped garlic (I'm a garlic freak, so half a small cup is just nice for me) and onion ringlets, adding water to soften it, a dash of soya sauce (I personally recommend Japanese quality soya sauce for that added oomph of taste), mirin (alternative: Chinese cooking wine / Hua Tiao Jiou) & cover pan
6. When onion ringlets are softened, add in the salmon chunks and stir in
7. Let the mixture braise over slow fire for 3-5 minutes (over a medium or small fire so that the teriyaki sauce will not dry up too fast)
8. Serve hot with steamed rice (optional: you can garnish with ginger shreds, sliced chilli n cilantro)

Note:

Some young children may develop a reaction (rash) to mirin or chinese cooking wine, so in that case, scoop out their portion before you add to yours. That way, you can enjoy authentic teriyaki salmon without the kids scratching away like Monkey God. Hee3. Try it!
