A Fusion of Flavors

Hailing from the vibrant teppanyaki tradition, hibachi cooking is a dynamic culinary experience that brings chefs and diners together. Inspired by this interactive style, we’ve crafted a dish that marries the simplicity of grilled salmon with the bold flavors of Asian cuisine.

Ingredients:

2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets

  • 1 Asian pear, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish

    • Preparation Process:

    1. Prep the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
    2. Create the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
    3. Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
    4. Glaze and Finish: Brush the grilled salmon with the glaze. Top with the sliced Asian pear. Grill for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the glaze is caramelized.
    5. Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

    Total Time: 25 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    Elegant Presentation: Serve the glazed salmon on a bed of steamed rice, accompanied by a side of stir-fried vegetables.

  • Casual Comfort: Place the salmon on a toasted bun with a drizzle of glaze and a side of sweet potato fries.
  • Flavorful Fusion: Pair the salmon with a refreshing cucumber salad and a side of miso soup.
