My contribution for Monthly Mingle #2 is Teriyaki Salmon. As you may know I’m not the world’s biggest fish fan but the last time we were back in Glasgow we had dinner at Ichiban and Stewart ordered Teriyaki Salmon as a starter and it was absolutely delicious!! With that in mind I searched through my cookbooks for a reliable Teriyaki recipe… who could be more reliable than Delia Smith??
Delia Smith is the matriarch of British cookery, in fact the phrase “doing a Delia” actually appears in the Oxford Engish dictionary as both a noun and a verb! If there was ever a Teriyaki recipe which would be sucessful then surely it would be hers??
Judge for yourself.. Here is Delia’s recipe for Teriyaki Grilled Marinated Salmon, taken from How to Cook Book 3.
TERIYAKI SALMON
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS
- 2 x 150g Salmon fillets
- 1/2 Tsp Groundnut oil for greasing the tray
For the marinade
- 2 Tbsp Japanese soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp Sake
- 2 Tbsp Mirin
- 1 Tsp granulated sugar
- 1″ Ginger
- 1 Fat clove garlic
PREPARATION
- Add the soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic, sugar and ginger into a small food processor and blitz until smooth.
- Pour the marinade over the salmon steaks and allow to marinade for at least 2 hours, turning halfway.
- Pre-heat the grill to maximum, grease the oven tray. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place onto the tray.
- Grill the salmon for 6 minutes.
- Pour the marinade into a pot and allow it to simmer and to reduce by 1/3. Strain the sauce if requires and serve over the salmon. I served my salmon with a mixed green salad with a black sesame dressing.
In the case of Meeta’s Monthly Mingle the salmon may be cooked on a tray on top of a barbeque.
This looks just delicious!! So fresh!
Thanks Bea!!

Hi Pamela,

That’s quite alright I have ammended your link to point to your site.
Thanks for dropping by!!
ohhhhhh that looks so gorgeous and tasty – was it like the ichiban one?
Yeah, I think so. Really tasty! You can’t really go wrong with Delia!
I love Delia. Her recipes always work out very well.
Gorgeous! It’s so so good!
Thanks!
I have this bookmarked to try. I have mirin, but need to get some sake.
Pamela,
I am from Lorraine, just next to Alsace. So I know Lorraine better, although both are very close by! If you can visit Les Vosges, lovely around there, and of course Straasbourg should not disappoint you. I can find a few known good restaurants for you as well, with Michelin stars. I tried one on Sarrebourg 2 weeks ago and loved it. Great price too for the food quality!!! Let me know how I can help!!
Teriyaki salmon is delicious on the bbq, so glad you gave it a go, looks delicious
I love teriyaki salmon especially the sauce. This looks fantastic! But you know, i always prefer it with rice.
Hi Pamela,
thanks for visiting my blog
I love salmon teriyaki and I love making the marinade instead of buying the ready-made one. My recipe is slightly different in that I used ground ginger, rice wine and thickened with cornstarch.
Next time I should give this one a try!
That looks soooo good! And easy. I’ll add this to my ever-growing list of recipes I have to try.
but where does the sugar come into play? =(
Thanks for pointing out my oversight Lea.
The sugar is incorporated into step 1, I have corrected the recipe to show this.
Thanks for popping by!
Thanks!
I had recently made terriyaki salmon from a Japanese cookbook I have, and didnt get that nice glaze. I was told I should have added sugar, so I was happy when I found your recipe with sugar in the ingredients! lol Imagine my sadness when I didnt see it in the instructions part!
Thank you! =)
