Japanese Salmon Teriyaki with Sesame Seeds

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic together to make the teriyaki sauce.
2. 2 Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
3. 3 Heat the vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. 4 Remove the salmon from the marinade, allowing excess sauce to drip off. Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if using skin-on fillets.
5. 5 Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. 6 While the salmon is cooking, pour the remaining teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until slightly thickened.
7. 7 Once the salmon is cooked, brush it with the thickened teriyaki sauce.
8. 8 Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions over the salmon for garnish.
9. 9 Serve the salmon hot with steamed rice and vegetables, if desired.
