teriyaki salmon recipe

This was extremely scrumptious! Even my picky Alicia wolved up two pieces of salmon though she’s not a fan of salmon at all. And as she ate every mouth of it, she kept ‘talking’ to me super expressively, as if trying to tell me to cook this more often for her… super cute. lol. I asked her, ‘Are you trying to tell mummy to cook this more often?’ and she nodded her head and continued with her baby talk. 😀

Teriyaki salmon recipe
Author: 
 
Ingredients
  • 340g salmon, skin removed
  • 2 bunches scallions (slice finely)
Teriyaki sauce:
  • 2T cooking sake
  • 4T mirin
  • 1.5T light soy sauce
  • 2T brown sugar
Instructions
  1. Rinse the slab of salmon, pat dry with kitchen towel and cut into chunks.
  2. Marinate the salmon chunks in the teriyaki sauce for at least ½ hour.
  3. Heat up a non-stick pan and sear the salmon chunks, reserve the rest of the teriyaki sauce. The surface of the salmon should turn brownish before you flip it over to the other side for browning. Because the salmon was soaked in the teriyaki marinade, it will brown quite quickly.
  4. Once both sides of the salmon are done, remove them from the pan and place on a plate.
  5. In a small saucepan, bring the rest of the teriyaki sauce to a boil. By the process of reduction, simmer the teriyaki sauce till it becomes thick.
  6. Drizzle the sauce over the salmon.
  7. Garnish with finely sliced green onion.
  8. Updated: You may grill the marinated salmon in an Airfryer - 180degC for 10min. While the salmon is grilled in the Airfryer, prepare the sauce.

Cauliflower with carrot

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Angeline
This cauliflower has been sitting in my fridge for quite a long while… it was actually meant for Alicia’s meals but due to her extremely slow eating, I’ve often had to skip the veggie at night and just give her fruits instead to balance her meal. And that’s how it ended up as our meal instead. Well, she did eat some of it that night and she even drank up the leftover sauce…
Cauliflower with carrot

Ingredients:
  • 1 cauliflower
  • 1 carrot
  • 1/2 handful dried shrimp (omit for tots below 18mths)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic (mince)
  • water
  • fish sauce to taste (optional)


Method:
  1. Cut the cauliflower into florets, remove any blemishes. Peel and slice the carrot.
  2. Rinse the dried shrimp then soak for a short while then mince the dried shrimp. Keep the water in which the dried shrimps were soaked for the cooking.
  3. Heat some oil in a wok and add the dried shrimp and fry till fragrant.
  4. Add the garlic and fry till fragrant. Don’t add the garlic together with the dried shrimp as garlic browns very quickly.
  5. Add the cauliflower, then the carrot (cauliflower takes longer to cook).
  6. Add the reserved water so it’s not too dry. Let it simmer in the wok till the cauliflower is cooked.
  7. Add fish sauce to taste (optional) – I didn’t as dried shrimp is already saltish.
  8. Dish and serve.

For toddler’s consumption:
  • Cut cauliflower into small florets and carrot into smaller pieces before serving.
  • Omit the dried shrimps in the cooking for tots below 18mths.
