Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 0.5 cups Soy sauce
- 0.25 cups Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Turn the salmon to ensure they are well-coated. Let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
After marinating, remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and set the marinade aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until the skin becomes crispy.
Flip the fillets and pour the reserved marinade over the top. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer to serving plates.
Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
