Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon steaks
• 0.5 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 2

2. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

3. Pour half of the teriyaki mixture into a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Add the salmon steaks, ensuring they are fully coated, and marinate in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Reserve the other half of the sauce for later use.

Step 4

4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.

Step 5

5. Remove salmon steaks from the marinade and pat lightly with paper towels to remove excess liquid. Discard used marinade.

Step 6

6. Place the salmon steaks onto the heated skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the steaks, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 7

7. While the salmon is cooking, pour the reserved teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it starts to simmer, whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency. Remove from heat.

Step 8

8. Plate the cooked salmon steaks and drizzle the thickened teriyaki glaze over the top.

Step 9

9. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

10. Serve hot with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
