Teriyaki Salmon with Gim

Every Tuesday night is Teriyaki salmon and sticky rice at our house. This is one of Eleanor’s favorite dinners of the week. It is such a quick meal to prepare after coming home from the five o clock Youth Training class. I do admit to get this meal out in a timely fashion I’ve been known to cook in my Dobok! Another time saver is my Zojirushi Rice Cooker. Right before heading down to the Dojang I add some sushi rice and a small handful of forbidden black rice to the cooker. Press the button and forget about it! Rice is done! Adding a bit of the black rice turns the sushi rice a light purple that looks so cool.

Along with the lovely soy glazed salmon and rice you must serve this with Gim. This is what puts this meal over the top. Gim is roasted nori that is seasoned with sesame oil and sea salt. You can buy it in large sheets or in small bite size squares. GimMe is the one I buy. It’s organic and is made in Korea. It comes in fun flavors to, Teriyaki, Wasabi and Sesame.

So the way to eat your Salmon is to fill a piece of Gim with a dab of rice and a flake of salmon and pop it in your mouth.  A Umami explosion will occur, so be ready!

Here’s the recipe.

1 ½ lbs Salmon filet (skinned) cut into 2-3 portions

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/3 cup mirin

1/3 cup water or sake

Chopped scallion and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
