Easy and Healthy Yellowtail Teriyaki Recipe

Teriyaki is a cooking method in which food is grilled while being coated with a sweet sauce based on soy sauce.
The name comes from the fact that the sugar in the sauce makes the surface of the food glossy, giving it a “Teri” shine. In Japan, it is used for cooking fish and meat, but overseas it is mainly used for cooking meat.

This time, I will introduce the recipe for “Yellowtail Teriyaki”, a classic Japanese teriyaki dish.
