In a bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients.

On a separate bowl, place the salmon. Season with salt and pepper and add the cornstarch. Mix until well coated.

In a pan, add some cooking oil. Add the salmon in one layer and sear about 2 minutes each side or until golden brown. Remove from pan and set aside.

On the same pan, add the sauce ingredients. Simmer for 3-5 minutes in low medium heat while stirring constantly until thick and glossy.

Add the cooked salmon and toss until covered with the sauce. Turn off heat and top with sesame seeds.

Serve on top of rice together with your favorite veggies.
