Buri no teriyaki is a Japanese fish teriyaki recipe that turns yellowtail into a glossy, sweet savory dish with rich flavor and tender texture. This recipe usually starts by lightly salting the fish to remove excess moisture and reduce any strong aroma before it is pan seared until the surface becomes golden. A simple teriyaki sauce made with soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar is then added to the pan and reduced until it coats the fish with shine, umami, and gentle sweetness. As the sauce thickens, it clings to the yellowtail while the inside stays moist and flaky. The final buri teriyaki pairs well with steamed rice, miso soup, grated daikon, pickles, or simple vegetables, making it a classic Japanese home dinner with clean flavor, glossy sauce, and a satisfying savory finish.

00:00Hi everyone, I'm Yuto and today on Statue I'm going to show you how to make a classic
00:04Japanese dish called Buri no Teriyaki, made with a dish called Yellowtail. Let's get started.
00:12First you're gonna need two thick pieces of Yellowtail, it's also sometimes known as
00:17Japanese Amberjack. Place them in a sealable bag and add one teaspoon of soy sauce
00:25and one teaspoon of mirin.
00:30Massage it until evenly coated. I didn't use this method for my other Teriyaki recipes but I'm using
00:36it here for Yellowtail because it has a relatively stronger fishy smell. This method relies on the
00:41osmotic pressure of the salty soy sauce to draw out both moisture and odor from the fish thoroughly.
00:48And then we'll leave that to lightly marinate in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
00:55While we wait, we can prepare the homemade Teriyaki sauce, grab a small bowl and add two tablespoons
01:01of soy sauce, two tablespoons of mirin, two tablespoons of sake and one teaspoon of sugar.
01:11Mix until the sugar has dissolved and then set it by the stove for later.
01:16After 15 minutes, take the Yellowtail out and pat it dry with kitchen paper to remove any excess moisture.
01:42Now we're gonna coat them with cornstarch. Not only does this improve the texture of the fish but it
01:48will also stick in the sauce and help it stick to the surface better.
02:06Now let's cook. Heat a pan on medium and add about half a tablespoon of cooking oil. Once it's hot,
02:13place the fillets in a pan and fry for about 2 minutes on each side.
02:19You might be surprised that Yellowtail is actually one of the most popular Teriyaki dishes in Japan,
02:25modern chicken or salmon. In Japanese, it's called Buri and it's a seasonal fish usually caught in the winter
02:32when it's extra fatty and delicious.
02:40This looks good so now we're going to increase the heat to high and add the Teriyaki sauce from earlier.
02:47Keep moving the fish around and flip it occasionally to prevent burning. Continuously moving it will
02:53also ensure it's fully coated in the sauce. Once the sauce becomes thick and glossy, take the pan off the
03:00heat.
03:02Finally, plate the dish and drizzle any leftover sauce from the pan on top.
03:07Just so you know, like most Japanese dishes, this one is meant to be enjoyed with plain rice,
03:11so be sure to serve it with rice.
03:14And I have a free mobile app now where you can easily follow the steps during the actual cooking.
03:20This is a great way to use as an in-kitchen companion after watching my YouTube videos.
