Teriyaki Salmon & Scallions Recipe
This is a savoury teriyaki sauce without sugar added. If you prefer a sweeter tasting teriyaki sauce, you can add bit of sugar (about 1/2 to 1 tsp), to taste.
Instead of salmon chunks, you can also use the more premium Japanese fillet cut for this recipe.
Check out the ingredients and step-by-step photos on the previous page.
Ingredients:
- 150g salmon fillet deboned & descaled; cut to chunks
- 1 tbsp (approximate) corn starch
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 5g butter
- 1 stalk scallion (white portion) cut to uniform diagonal sections
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp mirin
- 1 1/2 tbsp sake
- 1/2 tsp garlic paste (or 1 tsp minced garlic) optional
- 1/2 tsp ginger paste (or 1/2 tsp ginger juice) optional
- 1/2 tsp sliced dried chilli (deseeded) optional
Directions:
- Prepare salmon. Marinate salmon with sake for 10 minutes. Pat dry on kitchen paper towel, then lightly coat the salmon with flour.
- Pan fry the salmon in olive oil and butter until lightly browned on both sides. To manage oil splatters, you can use a splatter screen during cooking.
- Make teriyaki salmon & scallions. Push the cooked salmon to the side of the pan. Add teriyaki sauce ingredients, stir well and bring the sauce to a boil. Season the sauce to taste (you may add more soy sauce, 1/2 tsp at a time if needed). Arrange salmon pieces evenly in the pan, filling the gaps in the pan with scallions. Cover with lid and cook for about 3 mins on a low simmer, flipping the contents halfway through cooking. Serve with rice.
Cooking Notes:
- I am using a 20-cm sauce pan. It is the ideal size if you wish to cook and serve the dish directly in the pan.
- The last 3 ingredients of the teriyaki sauce are listed as optional, as they are essential ingredients in an authentic teriyaki sauce. However, they added a depth of flavour to the dish!
- I served this teriyaki salmon with Korean purple rice, adding a rich vibrant colour to the table.

This is totally right up my alley! Teriyaki is like a magic sauce, which makes everything so tasty and flavourful.
I roast leeks with sake, soy sauce and sesame oil and they are delicious! I bet these teriyaki scallions have quite similar delicious outcome.
