Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (4-6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil (optional for flavor)
- 1 as needed (to grease grill) Cooking spray or oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly whisk the slurry into the saucepan and continue cooking the sauce until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in sesame oil if desired. Set aside.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly grease the grill grates with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt if desired.
Place the salmon fillets, skin-side down if applicable, onto the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F and the salmon easily flakes with a fork.
During the last 1-2 minutes of grilling, brush the salmon fillets generously with the prepared teriyaki sauce.
Remove the salmon from the grill and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired. Serve immediately with extra teriyaki sauce on the side.
