Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and garlic until fully combined; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add sesame oil, and place salmon skin-side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes until skin is crispy and golden, then flip carefully.
  3. Step 3: Pour half the teriyaki sauce into the skillet, reducing heat to medium-low, and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and bubbles around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Brush remaining sauce over the salmon, turning once to coat evenly, and cook for 1 more minute until sauce coats the salmon and glazes it to a glossy finish.
  5. Step 5: Transfer salmon to a plate, skin-side up, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
