Buri Teriyaki is Yellowtail fish cooked and coated with Teriyaki Sauce.  Although a lot of people may think of Teriyaki mainly with chicken, fish Teriyaki may be eaten more often in Japan.

Teriyaki means “grilled with a shine,” and it is an important cooking technique for meat and fish.  Sugar in teriyaki sauce gives a shine to food which makes it not only tasty, but also look more appetizing.  Japanese Teriyaki sauce is not as sweet as some Teriyaki dishes from restaurants here.  If you’re used to the taste of that and like it, adjust the amount of sugar and Mirin.
