Since I didn't have any plans and I hadn't cooked in about 2 months, I decided to head to the Central Market last night after work and get some good ingredients. Since I've been eating out almost every meal lately, I knew I wanted something healthy. So, I got a half pound piece of some New Zealand Salmon (per the fishmonger's recommendation) and decided to do a teriyaki. As I was perusing I saw some good looking Shiitake mushrooms and thought they'd make a good addition.
The recipe was pretty simple. I marinated the fish in Kikkoman Teriyaki with a little olive oil for 30-45 min. Then I cooked the fish in a small teflon pan with a tiny bit of olive oil in it. Nothing higher than medium heat or the sugar in the teriyaki will burn. I kept mine on 4 or 5 and it had a slight char (turned out to be just the right amount). Six or seven minutes on each side seemed about right. I also made a sauce to put on top of the fish that had some reduced teriyaki, some honey (about 4:1 teriyaki to honey) and sliced shiitakes (3 or 4). I let it reduce for 5 min before I put the mushrooms in. Served it all up with some steamed broccoli topped with some truffle vinegar my mom brought me back from Israel. It was amazing. And pretty dang healthy too.
