salmon teriyaki recipe

Method

  1. Mix the maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and garlic in a bowl to make the marinade
  2. Coat the salmon in the marinade and then cover and place in the fridge for 20 minutes or up to 3 hours depending on how much time you have.
  3. Use a spiraliser or julienne to create noodles from the courgette and carrots.
  4. Heat a small amount of vegetable oil in a pan. Fry the salmon for 3 minutes on each side, reserving the marinade in the bowl.
  5. Meanwhile, heat another pan and add the courgette and carrot noodles. I don’t use oil for this as courgette contains a lot of water which creates steam. Mix in a splash of soy sauce or tamari for some extra flavour.
  6. When the salmon is just about done, add in the remaining marinade so that it begins to bubble and heat for a further 30 seconds to a minute, taking care that it doesn’t burn.

Serve with some chili, coriander and a wedge of lime. Enjoy!
