Tantalize your taste buds with this succulent and flavourful Teriyaki Salmon recipe. Not only is it incredibly easy to make, but the rich, savory glaze paired with the moist, tender salmon is something that’s sure to impress at any dinner table.
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch dissolved in 2 tablespoons of cold water
- Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish
Directions:
- Begin by seasoning both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Preheat your skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
- Once the pan is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin), cooking for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes, until the salmon is golden and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
- For the teriyaki sauce, lower the heat to medium and in the same pan, add soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic and ginger. Stir the mixture and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add the cornstarch and water mixture to the pan, stirring continuously. Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
- Return the salmon fillets to the pan and glaze them generously with the thickened teriyaki sauce. Cook for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
