Buying advice
1) Season salmon and cook at 122°F for 40 minutes. 2) Make teriyaki: soy, mirin, sake, and sugar simmered until glossy. 3) Pat salmon dry, brush with glaze, broil 2-3 minutes until caramelized. 4) Serve over rice with scallions and sesame.
FAQ
What temperature for salmon?
122°F (50°C) for 40 minutes — silky and buttery; 125°F for firmer.
How do I get the glaze to caramelize?
Pat the fish dry, brush glaze on, and broil briefly — the sugar browns fast, so watch it.
Can I use bottled teriyaki?
Yes — just reduce it slightly so it clings.
