Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 bunch broccolini, trimmed
2 cups cooked white or brown rice
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
2 green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer.
Mix cornstarch with water to form a slurry, then whisk into the sauce. Cook until thickened, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side up for 3–4 minutes, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes or until cooked through.
Brush or spoon teriyaki glaze over salmon during the last minute of cooking.
Meanwhile, steam or sauté broccolini until tender-crisp, about 4–5 minutes.
Serve salmon over cooked rice with broccolini on the side. Drizzle with extra teriyaki glaze and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
Notes
For a shortcut, use store-bought teriyaki sauce.
Swap broccolini with regular broccoli or green beans.
Use maple syrup instead of honey for a different flavor profile.
