Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillet
• 0.33 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon ginger (freshly grated)
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 stalks green onions (sliced, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the teriyaki sauce and whisk well.

Step 3

Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring often, until it thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is mostly cooked through.

Step 7

Carefully flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and spoon the prepared teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets. Let the salmon cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the sauce to glaze the fish.

Step 9

Transfer the salmon to a serving plate, spoon any extra sauce from the skillet over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Step 10

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