Delicious Teriyaki Salmon

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  2. Transfer 1/2 cup of the marinade to a resealable bag or a shallow dish, add the salmon fillets, and marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small pan, heat the remaining marinade over medium heat. Whisk in the cornstarch to thicken the sauce while stirring frequently for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, discarding the used marinade.
  5. If grilling, place the salmon on the grill skin side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. If baking, place the salmon on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
  6. Once cooked, transfer the salmon to a serving platter and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and sprinkle sesame seeds for an added crunch.
  8. Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Teriyaki Salmon with friends and family!
