Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
  2. 2Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. 3Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
  4. 4Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later use.
