Teriyaki Salmon Collar Sunomono

Serves 2
Total Time 1 hour, 3 minutes
Prep Time 10 minutes
Inactive Time 45 minutes
Cook Time 8 minutes

Ingredients

Sunomono
1 English cucumber
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup vinegar
⅓ cup water
1 teaspoon Kikkoman® Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Salmon
2 salmon collars
Salt, to taste
¼ cup Kikkoman® Teriyaki Takumi, Original

Directions

  1. Thinly slice cucumber. Place into a mixing bowl and add salt. Stir the cucumbers to evenly distribute salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes. ​
  2. Drain the liquid that has been pulled from the cucumbers. Add sugar, vinegar, and water. Mix until sugar is dissolved. Let it sit for 30 minutes. ​
  3. Drain and squeeze out the cucumbers. Add sesame oil and sesame seeds to finish.  ​
  4. Heat up charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat or about 425ºF. Season salmon collars lightly with salt to taste and place on the grill. Allow the salmon to sear for 2 minutes on both sides, brushing on the first layer of Takumi to avoid burning on each side. ​
  5. Brush on another light layer of Takumi onto both sides after searing is complete. Cook an additional 1 minute per side, then brush on another coat of Takumi and cook for 2 more minutes. ​
  6. Take collars off the grill and brush on more Takumi to finish.
