This Salmon Kabayaki recipe is as easy as it gets. All you need is 4 ingredients total to create one of the best fish dishes you’ve ever had. Although kids often don’t love fish, my boys adore this and can’t get enough of it.
I often double this sweet and tangy fish kabayaki recipe since my boys enjoy it so much.
The first time I made this I burned the kabayaki sauce and had to toss it. The sauce was way too charred because I had left it on high-heat for too long. The next dozen times that I made it I had perfect success. Whatever you do, keep a close eye on the kabayaki sauce. It can be a bit fragile. Also, when frying the fish, be careful and keep children out of the kitchen.
This recipe is based on one from Jaden Hair’s Steamy Kitchen Cookbook. If you’re looking for other healthy gluten-free dinner recipes check out my first book, The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook

This Salmon Kabayaki contains a fair amount of sweetener and so is not a low-carb dish. Here are some of my low-carb dinner recipes for you!

I just made this. Mine salmon were not browned at all. Maybe my pan wasn’t hot enough? The flavor is still good so I am happy. Will try again!
Bonfei, thanks for your comment! Next time raise the heat and cook the salmon until browned as indicated in step #6 of the recipe :-)
I prefer to grill my salmon. Do you think the sauce would work with grilling?
Debra, thanks for your comment! I haven’t tried so not sure, if you do please let us know how it goes :-)
Is there a substitution that you might suggest for the Ume Plum Vinegar. I was unable to find in my grocers store. I did find Sweet Plum vinegar but I’m unsure if that would be equivalent.
Thank you.
Corina, thanks for your comment! If you click the green text in the ingredients portion of the recipe you will be taken to a website where you can buy ume plum vinegar :-)
I use this awesome sauce for fish often. Awesome because its fast, using ingredients on hand for EP fans. Awesome because it’s flavorful. It makes the fish dish have a restaurant quality that “healthy” food often lacks. But isn’t that why we love Elana and her recipes, for that pizzazz? Thanks Elana!
QueenJellyBean, I’m so happy to hear that this is awesome!
I made this sauce and put it with cooked corn spagetti style pasta, chicken, and steamed veggies and it made a wonderful stir fry, a GF version of chicken and broccoli. Thanks for a worderful glaze/sauce.
Kerry, you’re welcome! Happy to hear you are enjoying this sauce!
