Ingredients

• 4 pieces (about 6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
• 2 each garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your teriyaki sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to make a slurry. Add this to the teriyaki sauce mixture and stir well to combine.

Step 3

Rinse the salmon fillets under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with pepper.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Flip the salmon fillets carefully and pour the teriyaki sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to medium and let the salmon cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, until the salmon is done and the sauce has thickened.

Step 6

Transfer the cooked salmon to a serving platter. Spoon any remaining sauce from the skillet over the salmon.

Step 7

Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or brown rice for a complete meal.
