Lacquered salmon is a popular dish in Asian cuisine, particularly in Japan, where it is known as teriyaki salmon. The dish involves coating a fillet of salmon in a sweet and savory sauce that is then baked, roasted or grilled. The result is a succulent, glossy salmon fillet that is both visually appealing and delicious. Lacquered salmon can be served with steamed vegetables, rice, or noodles, depending on personal preference.

Instructions

1.In a medium-sized saucepan, mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sesame oil, gingerroot, sherry, honey, Tabasco sauce, black pepper, garlic, and turmeric.
2.Bring the sauce mixture to a boil over medium-high heat and let it cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and reduces by half. Set it aside to cool.
3.Preheat oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish.
4.Rinse the salmon fillets, pat them dry, and place them in the baking dish, skin-side down.
5.Pour the cooled sauce over the salmon fillets, ensuring that they are fully coated.
6.Place the baking dish in the oven and bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes.
7.Once done, remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
