Teriyaki Salmon

  Salmon prepared the Teriyaki way is quite mouth watering and delicious.  It contains, Mirin and Sake  although in small quantities. I have reproduced the recipe without any of the alcohol, making it a non alcoholic Teriyaki Salmon.

Ingredients for Non Alcoholic Teriyaki Salmon (original ingredients included):

• 2 salmon fillets, about 250 gms each

Marinade:

• 2 Tbsp Light Soy sauce ( no need for replacement)
• 1 ½ Tbsp Rice wine or Sake ( Replaced with 1  Tbsp Rice Vinegar + 1 Tbsp white grape juice)

• Once the salmon is cooked through to the centre, transfer the fillets to a foil lined oven proof dish. Press the slices of ginger onto the fish . and sprinkle the scallions over the top.
