Instructions

  1. Step 1: Combine 4 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp mirin, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until the teriyaki sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets and place skin-side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes without moving until skin is crisp and golden.
  3. Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush with half of the teriyaki sauce. Cook for 2-3 more minutes until salmon is cooked through but still moist.
  4. Step 4: In a separate skillet, heat 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil over medium heat. Add 3 cups broccoli florets and sauté for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp and bright green. Season with 1 tsp sesame seeds.
  5. Step 5: Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon and serve alongside the ginger-sesame broccoli.
