Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon steaks
- 0.5 cup Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, prepare the teriyaki sauce by whisking together soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined.
In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat a small saucepan over medium heat and add the prepared teriyaki sauce mixture. Bring it to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pat the salmon steaks dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Cook the salmon steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
During the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, brush the salmon with the prepared teriyaki sauce to create a glossy glaze.
Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving plate. Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over the top if desired.
Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
