Pan fried Teriyaki Salmon

Teriyaki salmon is one of the usual dishes I will order outside for my boy. He loves to eat Japanese food. I ever bought the ready made teriyaki sauce but find that the taste is not to my liking. That day when I had to cook for just me and him, I decided to make this simple salmon dish. To make a complete meal, just steam some broccoli or make side dishes to go along.


Ingredients
Salmon
Salt
Pepper
Spring onions (optional)
White sesame (optional)

Sauce
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp chinese cooking wine

Recipe
1. Marinate the salmon with salt and pepper. Pat dry with a kitchen towel.
2. Heat a little oil in the pan and place the salmon skin side down. Let it cook for at least 4-5 minutes. Be really patient and do not try to flip the salmon. You will see from the side that it will start turning pink from bottom up. Wait till it has reached the mid-way before flipping.
3. Flip the salmon to the other side and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes. While waiting, prepare the sauce by mixing the ingredients together in a small bowl. You should see the side of salmon has turned all pink which means it is nicely done. Pour the sauce into the pan. 
4. Do not cover the pan. Let the sauce simmer and thicken before removing it and put on the serving plate. Sprinkle spring onions and white sesame to garnish.
