Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 4 fillets salmon about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce low sodium
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch for thickening the sauce
  • 2 tablespoons water for cornstarch slurry
For Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
  • 2 stalks green onions sliced

Method
 

Prepare the Marinade
  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  2. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the marinade.
Marinate the Salmon
  1. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cook the Salmon
  1. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
  2. Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes.
  3. Flip the salmon and add the reserved marinade to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through.
Thicken the Sauce
  1. Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the skillet. Increase the heat and let the marinade simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Serve
  1. Plate the salmon and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the top.
  2. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For added flavor, you can grill the salmon instead of pan-searing it. Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
