Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lemon juice to make the teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.

Step 3

Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade and transfer it to a small saucepan.

Step 5

Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 6

While the salmon is grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.

Step 7

Once the salmon is finished cooking, remove it from the grill and brush the teriyaki glaze on top for added flavor.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice and grilled vegetables.
