Salmon in teriyaki sauce

My son loves salmon in teriyaki sauce and usually I would just drizzle the salmon in teriyaki sauce and grill it. Very simple and he loves it.

Ever since I started cooking from recipes, it seems cooking any old how is now beneath me. I wanted to try salmon in teriyaki sauce (what else?) from Cooking To A Degree which featured recipes from people who used to study in the U.K.


The marinade includes sugar and Thai fish sauce. Sugar? I hesitated but added it anyway. I ditched the fish sauce because I cannot stand the taste.


Pan frying in my (sob) WMF stainless steel frying pan. I think the fire was too high because the oil was splattered everywhere.


Got a little burnt. I only looked away for a few seconds. Garnished with fried garlic and lime juice.


And this is how we eat it. White rice, sweet peas, egg and salmon bone soup with Korean Ginseng powder

Verdict:
Although my children managed to finish their dinner, they did not like the salmon. They felt it tasted weird.
I thought the salmon tasted weird too.

Postmortem:
Sugar and teriyaki sauce don't mix. Maybe it was the lime? Or the missing fish sauce. Definitely not cooking this again.
