Recipe Instructions:
-
Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, medium-dry sherry, cider vinegar, and sugar.
- Simmer the sauce ingredients, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce the sauce to about 1/2 cup and let it cool to room temperature.
- Place the saucepan in a larger bowl filled with ice and cold water for a quicker cooling process.
-
Marinate the Salmon:
- In a baking dish large enough to hold the salmon steaks in a single layer, marinate the salmon in the prepared teriyaki sauce.
- Ensure the salmon is thoroughly coated, turning it to guarantee an even marinade.
- Allow the salmon to marinate for a delightful 15 minutes.
-
Prepare the Vegetables:
- While the salmon is marinating, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil.
- Blanch the carrots and onions in the boiling water for approximately 2 minutes or until they reach a crisp-tender texture.
- Drain the vegetables in a colander.
- Transfer the blanched vegetables to a bowl of ice-cold water to halt the cooking process.
- Drain the vegetables well.
-
Sauté the Salmon:
- In a 10-inch heavy skillet, preferably cast iron, heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.
- Using a metal spatula, transfer the marinated salmon to the skillet, letting any excess sauce drip off.
- Reserve the remaining sauce for later use.
- Reduce the heat to moderate and sauté the salmon, turning it once, until it is just cooked through and beautifully browned, approximately 2 1/2 minutes on each side.
-
Prepare the Sauce and Vegetables:
- Pour off any excess oil from the skillet and add the blanched vegetables.
- Stir the vegetables for about 1 minute.
- Add the reserved teriyaki sauce to the skillet, stirring continuously.
- Allow the sauce to boil for another minute or until it thickens to perfection.
-
Serve and Garnish:
- Plate the sautéed salmon on two individual plates.
- Spoon the flavorful vegetables and teriyaki sauce over the salmon, ensuring an enticing presentation.
- Garnish your culinary masterpiece with scallion greens for an extra burst of freshness and visual appeal.
