Instructions

1. Step 1: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 2 tbsp mirin, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon; remove from heat.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 5-6 minutes until the skin is crisp.
3. Step 3: Flip the salmon and brush generously with half of the teriyaki sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is cooked through but still moist.
4. Step 4: Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add 2 cups broccoli florets, 1 medium julienned carrot, and 1 medium sliced red bell pepper.
5. Step 5: Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp sesame seeds and toss.
6. Step 6: Serve the teriyaki-glazed salmon over the stir-fried vegetables. Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce on top and garnish with 2 sliced green onions.
