Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and lemon juice to make the teriyaki marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375-400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates with olive oil to prevent sticking.
Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Reserve the leftover marinade and transfer it to a small saucepan.
Place the salmon skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, then carefully flip and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
While the salmon is grilling, bring the reserved marinade to a boil in the saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens into a glaze.
Once the salmon is finished cooking, remove it from the grill and brush the teriyaki glaze on top for added flavor.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice and grilled vegetables.
