Ingredients
To make this delicious salmon teriyaki, you will need the following ingredients:
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup mirin (sweet Japanese rice wine)
2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
Now that you have all the ingredients, let's get started on making this delicious salmon teriyaki. 1. In a small saucepan, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sake, garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until the sugar has dissolved. 2. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 5-10 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly. Set aside. 3. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. 4. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. 5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the pan. 6. Add the salmon fillets to the pan, skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. 7. Carefully flip the salmon fillets over using a spatula. Brush the tops of the fillets with the teriyaki sauce. 8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. 9. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the cornstarch slurry. In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch until smooth. 10. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and transfer the fillets to a plate. 11. Return the skillet to the stovetop over medium-high heat. Add the cornstarch slurry to the remaining teriyaki sauce in the pan and whisk until it thickens, about 1-2 minutes. 12. Spoon the thickened teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. 13. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. 14. Serve the salmon teriyaki with a side of rice and your favorite vegetables.
