Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon (optional for garnish) sesame seeds
• 2 stalks, sliced (optional for garnish) green onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry.

Step 3

Heat the teriyaki sauce mixture in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it begins to simmer, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season them lightly with salt, if desired.

Step 5

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) into the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the edges of the salmon look opaque.

Step 6

Carefully flip the salmon fillets and brush a generous amount of the teriyaki glaze over the tops of the fillets. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Brush with additional teriyaki glaze, if desired.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and presentation, if desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
