Salmon Teriyaki
- 4 salmon steaks, each 6 to 8 ounces
- 1/3 cup sake or slightly sweet white wine, like a German Kabinett or Spatlese
- 1/3 cup mirin or 2 tablespoons honey mixed with 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes, then add the salmon.
- Brown quickly on both sides, not more than 2 minutes per side.
- Transfer the fish to a plate and turn the heat to medium.
- Add 2 tablespoons water, followed by the wine, mirin, sugar, and soy sauce.
- Stir to blend and, when the mixture is producing lively bubbles and beginning to thicken, return the salmon to the pan.
- Cook, turning the salmon in the sauce, until it becomes more of a glaze than a liquid, not more than a couple of minutes.
- By that time the salmon will be cooked adequately (it should still be slightly uncooked in its center).
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
