Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup soy sauce
- 0.25 cup mirin
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free honey substitute
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar-free honey substitute, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Stir until well combined.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Set the remaining marinade aside. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place in the hot skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is just opaque in the center.
While the salmon is cooking, take the reserved marinade and pour it into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry, then add it to the simmering marinade, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and brush it with the thickened teriyaki sauce.
Garnish the salmon with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
