Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound salmon fillet
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Optional toppings: sesame seeds, sliced green onions, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if baking, or heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat if pan-searing.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, ginger, and garlic to make the teriyaki glaze.
- If baking, place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet. Brush generously with the teriyaki glaze.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Brush with more glaze halfway through cooking.
- If pan-searing, sear the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, until cooked through. In the last few minutes of cooking, add the teriyaki glaze to the skillet and let it thicken, coating the salmon.
- Serve the teriyaki salmon over cooked rice.
- Add your favorite optional toppings like sesame seeds, green onions, broccoli, or carrots.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in half of the teriyaki glaze for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
- Adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less brown sugar and honey.
- Ensure the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
