mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

Rice vinegar is lower in calories and provides a similar tangy flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for a lighter flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers a natural sweetness with potential health benefits.

Turn the heat to low and add grated ginger, brown sugar, and honey to a medium saucepan.

Add water, garlic, and lemon juice to the saucepan.

Add cornstarch to thicken the sauce and whisk on low heat until thick.

Once the sauce is thickened, let it cool down as it will thicken further.

Brush teriyaki sauce onto 4 salmon fillets, saving half for later use.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Bake the salmon for about 15 to 17 minutes.

While the salmon is baking, cook white rice in a rice cooker.

Once the salmon is cooked, add more teriyaki sauce if desired.

Garnish the salmon with sesame seeds and green onions, and serve on top of rice.
