RECIPE FOR TERIYAKI SALMON IN A PARCEL
Source: Adapted and modified from Annabel Karmel Family Cookbook
Serve: 2
Ingredients:
120g salmon fillet
Ginger (julienned)
Dash of white sesame seedsFor ganishings (the combination and amount are up to individual preference):
Baby sweetcorn
Snow peas
Carrots (finely sliced with a vegetable peeler)Seasonings:
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine )
1 tbsp sake (Japanese rice wine) – (Mine is a sake style cooking seasoning/料理酒)
1 tsp granulated sugar
Salt and pepper (for marinating salmon)Methods:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Make the teriyaki sauce: Combine the light soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar in a small bowl. Pour into a small saucepan and simmer until it is slightly thicken. Set aside to cool down.
- Clean and rinse salmon fillet. Pat dry with kitchen towel. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillet on a sheet of parchment paper. Arrange some ginger strips on top. Fold the parchment paper to make a parcel. Add 1- 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce before sealing the top. Put the parcel on a baking tray and bake for 12 minutes. The time required for baking may vary depending on the thickness of your fish fillet.
- Meanwhile, blanch the baby sweetcorn, snow peas and carrots. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce on the blanched vegetables. Serve with the salmon and a sprinkling of sesame seeds.
Tips:
- If you don’t have parchment paper, you can replace it with aluminum foil.
- You can replace salmon with any other delicate fish with flat fillets such as grey sole, halibut, red snapper etc.
- This method is also suitable to cook meat, chicken, pasta and vegetables.
- The teriyaki sauce is similar to the one I used for shiitake mushroom stir-fry post.
- You can use herbs and aromatic vegetables to enhance the flavour of this dish.

I prefer teriyaki chicken, but I guess I can understand how teriyaki salmon would taste pretty good.

Salmon and Teriyaki source are always my no.1 choice when ever I visited a Japanese restaurant
Joanne (CP): Me too! But it’s more cost saving to cook it at home as the salmon is quite affordable here.

I love to wrap things up in a parcel and bake in an oven too. so fuss free. Your dish looks auspicious and yummy. Where did u get parchment paper in Singapore? I always use aluminium foil.
Noobcook: Tks! I bought mine at Phoon Huat. If not mistaken, it can be found in the supermarket too.
looks delish and very healthy
, I love salmon but rarely cook it and we dont get it back home. And also happy new year to you as you say gong xi fa chai
, hope I got it right
Peanutts: Tks! Unlike Singapore, I also couldn’t find great bargain for salmon when I was in Penang. Well, you can always subsitute with other fish and cook in parchment. Thanks for your CNY wishes!
I have been eating more salmon lately.
Tigerfish: Does it mean that we are overdosed with Omega-3?

Lovely =) Just wrote on Rilsta’s blog (myfoodtrail) that I love salmon teriyaki and have seen a whole bunch of different recipes for it lately! I like using Harumi’s but yours certainly looks very elaborate and pretty =D
Mrs Multitasker: Haven’t tried any from Harumi. Got to check it out. Tks for your sweet comments.
Hi, can we use the ready-bought teriyaki souce instead?
PauCen: Yes, you can. Unless you have a ready-bought teriyaki sauce at home, otherwise I suggest that you try to make your own teriyaki sauce. It is quite easy and you can adjust the taste (esp sweetness) according to your preference. Hope it helps!
Hi, I have tried baking this. It was yummy. My hubby and kids love it. Thank you for sharing the recipe
Mei Ling: Thanks for your kind feedback! Glad it suits your family’s palate.
