CHEF MEAGAN RECIPE
Teriyaki Cola Coho
While you’re gearing up to fill your fish boxes over the summer, keep this fantastic recipe in mind for when you get home from your trip. It’s fast, easy, and a showcase for your silver salmon fillets.
The secret is in the sauce, naturally—in this case, derived from a rich teriyaki marinade spiked with Coca-Cola. The depth of flavor arises the seasoning: minced garlic and ginger laced with sesame oil, brown sugar, and rice wine vinegar.
Steps from kitchen to table? Mix the marinade in a bowl, pour it into a ziplock bag, add the salmon, refrigerate for half an hour, then whip up the sauce on the stove top and pop the fillets in a frying pan.
Once cooked to perfection, garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with fluffy white rice, lemon wedges, and a tossed green salad or stir-fried veggies. As for beverages, I tend to pair this dish with chilled sake or ice-cold Japanese beer.
