Ingredients
Scale
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a touch of heat)
Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until the sugar has dissolved.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat a large, non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down (if applicable), and sear for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Flip the fillets and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5-7 minutes, basting the salmon occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
Transfer the teriyaki salmon fillets to a serving plate and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
