Directions

25 min
  1. 1

    Generously sprinkle salt on both sides of the yellowtail fillets and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, mix all the ★ seasonings together to make the teriyaki sauce.

  3. 3

    Rinse the salt off the surface of the fillets under water, then pat them thoroughly dry with paper towels. Lightly coat both sides with potato starch.

  4. 4

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the fillets presentation-side down and begin to pan-fry.

  5. 5

    Once the edges of the fillets turn white, flip them over, cover with a lid, and steam-cook on low heat.

  6. 6

    Once the fillets are cooked through, wipe away any excess oil from the pan, then pour in the ★ sauce. Coat the fillets well and let the sauce reduce.

  7. 7

    Once the sauce thickens and the fillets develop a glossy glaze, turn off the heat and serve.

Tips

Coating the fillets in potato starch helps keep the fish tender and soft. For a well-balanced sauce, use equal amounts of sugar, soy sauce, mirin, and sake. When reducing the sauce, be careful not to let it burn — lower the heat as soon as it starts to bubble.
