kcalIngredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each) 🐟
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- For the Teriyaki Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced 🧄
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
Directions
- Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened. Set aside.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip the salmon and brush generously with the teriyaki sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce is caramelized.
- Add the Sesame Seeds: In the last minute of cooking, sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon to toast lightly.
- Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
- Enjoy: Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon for extra flavor and enjoy!
Notes
- If you want a thicker sauce, continue to simmer the teriyaki sauce until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the salmon for a nuttier flavor.
- Serve with a side of sautéed bok choy or edamame for a complete Japanese-inspired meal!
