So when a recipe calls for a low-sodium product, sometimes it's VERY important to use just that. That is the only thing I can think happened to our meal. It was so incredibly salty. Ok, maybe not incredibly, but it was salty enough for it to stand out to me. I understand that using soy sauce is going to give anything a salty flavor, but this was the saltiest teriyaki mix I have ever had. Now I have substituted regular soy for low-sodium soy before and never had a problem, but I really have never used it in this large of an amount before either. Chris didn't think it was overly salty, so maybe it was just my taste buds that night? I really don't know. All in all, though, it was pretty good. If you are going to make it, make it with the low sodium soy sauce, I think it will make all the difference! Also, this would work great for a teriyaki chicken or pork stir fry too!
Baked Teriyaki Fish
Adapted from Food & Wine
Ingredients:
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon of water
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
Four 6- to 8-ounce skinless cod or tilapia fillets
Directions:
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, the dissolved cornstarch, and the rice vinegar and bring to a boil, whisking until the glaze is thickened, about 2 minutes.
Place the fillets in a baking dish sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the fish. Bake for 6 minutes, remove, and pour the rest of the sauce over the fish. Continue baking another 6-8 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Enjoy!
