  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce or tamari for a gluten-free option
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)
  • Cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • Fresh vegetables: sliced cucumber, shredded carrots, chopped green onions, and steamed broccoli
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Fresh lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly. For a glossy finish, optionally mix in cornstarch mixed with water to thicken further. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets lightly with salt. Place them skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Brush the salmon generously with the teriyaki sauce during the last minute of cooking for a flavorful glaze.
  3. While the salmon cooks, prepare your rice according to package instructions. In a separate pan or bowl, prepare your favorite vegetables—shredded carrots, chopped green onions, steamed broccoli, and sliced cucumber—adding a touch of sesame oil or soy sauce to enhance their flavors.
  4. Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Arrange the cooked vegetables and place a glazed salmon fillet on top. Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over everything and garnish with sesame seeds and lime wedges for a burst of flavor.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for the best taste and texture. Check out this crusty baked salmon recipe for an alternative cooking method.
  • Marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for 15-20 minutes before cooking for an extra flavor kick.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a cornstarch slurry while simmering.
  • Serve immediately for the best freshness and flavor.
