Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp grated ginger
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 3 scallions
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil

How to cook it

  1. Simmer the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small pan until slightly syrupy, about 4 minutes.
  2. Pat the salmon dry and sear skin-side down in the neutral oil over medium-high heat, about 4 minutes.
  3. Flip the fillets, brush with the teriyaki glaze, and cook until just opaque, about 3 minutes more.
  4. Spoon the remaining glaze over the salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions.
  5. Serve over rice.
