Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups cooked white rice
Instructions
- Preheat Your Equipment: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly oil the surface so the salmon does not stick.
- Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan whisk soy sauce, honey, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth.
- Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: In a small bowl mix cornstarch with water until fully dissolved, then whisk it into the sauce mixture.
- Assemble the Dish: Place the saucepan over medium heat and simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
- Cook to Perfection: Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet and cook for about 4 minutes on the first side, then flip and brush generously with the teriyaki sauce.
- Finishing Touches: Continue cooking until the salmon flakes easily and the glaze coats the fillets beautifully.
- Serve and Enjoy: Plate the salmon over warm rice with broccoli, then sprinkle sesame seeds and green onions on top.
Notes
- Pat the salmon dry before cooking to help it caramelize properly.
- Allow the sauce to simmer gently so it thickens without burning.
- Spoon extra sauce over the rice for extra flavor.
- Fresh ginger provides the best aroma and depth of flavor.
