Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets
• 0.5 cups Soy sauce
• 0.25 cups Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 2 Green onions, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the salmon to ensure they are well-coated. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.

Step 3

After marinating, remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and set the marinade aside.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin becomes crispy.

Step 6

Flip the fillets and pour the reserved marinade over the top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

Step 7

Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.

Step 8

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
