Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
Sliced green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes until cooked through.
Brush or pour teriyaki glaze over salmon and let it caramelize for 1–2 minutes in the pan.
Serve glazed salmon over a bed of cooked jasmine rice.
Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Marinate salmon in the teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes beforehand for deeper flavor.
Pair with steamed vegetables like broccoli or bok choy for a complete meal.
Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content if needed.
