Preparation
Step 1
Teriyaki
1. in a small bowl, combine cornstarch & 1/4 cup cold water. stir until cornstarch is dissolved; set aside
2. in a saucepan, combine 1 cup water, soy sauce, ground ginger, garlic powder, brown sugar & honey; bring to a simmer
3. when liquid is simmering & brown sugar has melted, add the cornstarch/water mixture & simmer until thick enough to coat a back of a spoon (do not overthicken!)
For Sirachi Cream
1. in a medium bowl, combine Sriracha & mayo & whisk well
2. add condensed milk & whisk until fully incorporated; add more condensed milk for a milder taste & more Sriracha for a spicier taste
For Fish
1. in a baking/marinading dish, place salmon filets & add 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup teriyaki marinade. let marinade reach about 1/2 of the sides of filets. marinade in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to overnight
2. preheat oven to 400 degrees. meanwhile, line a baking dish with aluminum foil & lightly brush with olive oil; set aside
3. on a cutting board, slit the sides of each salmon filets making a long pocket/envelope; do not pierce through the other side!
4. insert about a tablespoon of cream cheese into each pocket; do not overstuff or the cream cheese will seep out during baking
5. in the prepared baking dish, place stuffed salmons & sprinkle a nice amount of sesame seeds. cover the baking dish & salmon filets with another sheet of foil & bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until salmon is cooked all the way through
6. after baking is done, place in a serving dish & drizzle with sriracha cream sauce & garnish with thinly sliced green onions
