Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 teaspoons cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the tamari, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger to create the gluten-free teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until dissolved. Add the mixture to the teriyaki sauce and whisk until combined. This will help thicken the sauce during cooking.

Step 3

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Heat the cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving the fillets, allowing the skin to crisp up.

Step 5

Flip the salmon fillets gently using a spatula. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is golden and flaky on the inside. Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets in the skillet. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes, spooning it over the salmon occasionally to glaze the fish thoroughly.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top, and garnish with sliced green onions if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
