Monthly Mingle #2 – Big on Barbeque – Teriyaki Salmon

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.

Salmon Teriyaki

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

  1. Add the soy sauce, sake, mirin, garlic, sugar and ginger into a small food processor and blitz until smooth.
  2. Pour the marinade over the salmon steaks and allow to marinade for at least 2 hours, turning halfway.
  3. Pre-heat the grill to maximum, grease the oven tray. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place onto the tray.
  4. Grill the salmon for 6 minutes.
  5. 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.
