Ingredients

• 4 fillets salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon (for garnish) sesame seeds
• 1 stalk (sliced for garnish) green onions
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and water. Stir until the honey dissolves and the ingredients are well combined.

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, dissolve the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a pan over medium heat and pour the sauce mixture into the pan. Allow it to come to a simmer.

Step 4

Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook the sauce for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove the sauce from the heat and set it aside.

Step 5

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the pan.

Step 7

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is halfway cooked.

Step 8

Flip the salmon fillets carefully and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is just cooked through but still moist.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets in the pan. Spoon the sauce over the tops of the salmon to glaze them evenly.

Step 10

Cook for 1-2 more minutes, allowing the salmon to absorb the flavors of the sauce.

Step 11

Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Step 12

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