- 330g g salmon fillets 110g each
- 1 tbsp light soy sauce
- 1 tbsp dark soy sauce

In a pan, combine soy sauces, mirin and sugar. Simmer until reduced to a syrupy consistency and reserve.
Pat the salmon fillets as dry as possible. Season both sides with salt.
Place skin side down on a pan on medium-low heat, only flipping when the flesh is done most of the way.
Brush the skin with teriyaki sauce, then sear it with a kitchen torch. Repeat several times to build up the glaze.
