Pan-fried Salmon with Sweet Onion Teriyaki Sauce

Description:
This is a great way to serve salmon when you're in a hurry. Make sure your saute pan with oil is hot before you slide in the fish for it to have a nice crust that won't stick to the pan (I don't use non-stick pans, just stainless steel).

Ingredients:

300 g salmon fillet (or salmon steaks)

1 medium onion, sliced into rings

Teriyaki Sauce:
1/8 cup light soy sauce
1/8 cup mirin
1/4 cup water

Directions:
Season salmon with salt and pepper. When the saute pan is hot, add about 2 tablespoons of oil. Slide in the fish and cook for about 2 minutes per side, being careful not to overcook.
(Tip: Look at the color of the fish in the middle part to determine doneness. Fish should still be bright pink in the middle when you flip it.) Put on a plate and set aside.

In the same pan with the remaining oil, saute onions until soft and caramel in color. Skim off excess oil.
In a small bowl, mix together light soy sauce, mirin and water. Pour unto sauteed onions.

Serve sauce with the fish.
