Japanese style Salmon 日式三文魚

I am always eager to try a Japanese recipe and today I finally got a chance to make something that is related to Japanese cooking- salmon served with teriyaki sauce ! Salmon is a really common dish in a Japanese restaurant, it often comes with a bowl of steaming hot rice, in which the sauce makes a good combination with the soft white rice and lovely pan-fried salmon. I'm glad that I could actually make my own sauce that tastes as good as the restaurant ones.

Teriyaki sauce recipe (3/4cup):
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp garlic powder
1tsp corn starch
2 tbsp water
1) in a small pot, combine together soy sauce, water, sugar and garlic powder, bring them to boil.
2) mix together corn starch and water, then add to the soy sauce mixture. Cook until sauce has thickened.

The sauce is good with everything, beef/chicken/fish.etc.
I chose to serve the sauce with salmon since that was I had on hand. To prepare the salmon fillet, I cut it in half, pick the bones out and season it with salt and pepper to take away that fishy smell. Before frying it, I also pat it with flour and drizzle some olive oil on top. The frying part doesn't take long, around 5mins per side. :)
