  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Salmon and Oils

  • 6 salmon filets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 4 tablespoons brown sugar (or honey/coconut sugar as substitute)
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 dash Sriracha
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Garnish (Optional)

  • Sesame seeds
  • Spring onions (green onions), sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet: Warm a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil to coat the surface evenly.
  2. Prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, Sriracha, water, and cornstarch until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Cook the salmon, first side: Place the salmon filets skin-side down (or top side down if skin removed) in the hot skillet and sear for 2 minutes until lightly browned.
  4. Flip the salmon: Carefully turn each salmon filet over and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Add the sauce and simmer: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the skillet around the salmon filets. Nestle the salmon into the sauce, reduce the heat to medium-low, and allow them to cook for about 10 minutes. This will let the salmon absorb the flavors and cook through.
  6. Check doneness and serve: Ensure the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 63°C (145°F) to guarantee it is fully cooked. Serve the glazed salmon over steamed rice and garnish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds, if desired.

Notes

  • Substitute brown sugar with honey or coconut sugar for a different flavor profile.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha according to your heat preference.
  • Use fresh ginger and garlic for optimal taste.
  • Ensure the internal temperature of the salmon reaches 63°C (145°F) for safe consumption.
  • This recipe pairs beautifully with steamed rice or stir-fried vegetables.
  • For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
