What is Teriyaki Salmon?

Teriyaki salmon is fresh salmon fillet that is marinated in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce. The salmon is then grilled or broiled so the teriyaki glaze caramelizes creating a sticky flavorful crust on the fish.

Traditional teriyaki sauce contains soy sauce, mirin, sake or rice wine, ginger, and sugar. The sauce strikes the perfect balance of salty, sweet, and umami. It adds so much flavor to the tender, flaky salmon flesh.

Teriyaki Salmon Ingredients in Dreamlight Valley

To make teriyaki salmon in Dreamlight Valley, you’ll need to gather the following ingredients:

• 1 Salmon
• 1 Soya
• 1 Rice
• 1 Ginger
• 1 Sugarcane

Let’s go through where to find each of these ingredients in Dreamlight Valley:

Salmon

Salmon can be caught when fishing in the Sunlit Plateau and Frosted Heights biomes. Look for small, quick shadow fish in these areas. I recommend fishing on the second island across the bridge in the Sunlit Plateau for a good chance of catching salmon.

Equip your fishing rod and use bait like peanuts or nightcrawlers to improve your odds. Salmon sells for a decent amount of coins, so it’s worth fishing up extras to sell.

Soya

Soya beans can be purchased from Goofy’s Stall at Chez Remy’s restaurant in the Sunlit Plateau. Make sure you unlock the stall first by completing Goofy’s quest line. Then you can buy packets of soya for 330 coins each.

Soya provides the salty, umami flavors resembling soy sauce in the teriyaki marinade. It’s an essential ingredient for the recipe.

Rice

You can buy rice from Goofy’s Stall in the Glade of Trust biome. A packet of rice costs 207 coins.

Rice gives the teriyaki glaze its thickness and sticky texture. Without rice, the sauce would be too thin.

Ginger

Ginger root can be foraged in the Forgotten Lands biome. Look for the small green sprouts poking up from the dirt patches.

Ginger adds a kick of spiciness and also helps tenderize the salmon meat. Fresh grated ginger is best for the recipe.

Sugarcane

You can purchase sugarcane stalks from Goofy’s Stall at Dazzle Beach for 330 coins each.

Sugarcane gives the teriyaki sauce its signature sweetness to balance the saltiness.

Now that you know where to find all the ingredients, let’s get cooking!
