Salmon Teriyaki 鮭の照り焼き

Ingredients:
500 g Salmon fillet, cut into two equal-sized pieces
Oil, for searing

to make Teriyaki Sauce:
5 tbsp Soup Base (bonito flavored) or Japanese Shoyu
3 tbsp Sake
3 tbsp Mirin Seasoning
1 tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Cornstarch

Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients for the Teriyaki Sauce in a saucepan. Stir until well blended.
Heat up the saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat as soon as the teriyaki sauce bubbles and thickens. Set aside to cool.

In a sealed plastic bag, Marinate the salmon with half of Teriyaki Sauce overnight.

Pre-heat the oven to 175 degree C.
Heat up a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add-in oil and pan-sear the marinated salmon until the surface is charred, about 1-2 minutes.
Brush the remaining Teriyaki Sauce on the seared salmon, and transfer them to the oven. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.
Remove from the oven, drizzle the leftover Teriyaki Sauce on the salmon.
Serve immediately with steamed rice and hourensou goma-ae (spinach side dish).
