Instructions
- In a small saucepan add soy sauce, 3 tablespoons water, dark brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and ground mustard. Whisk to combine.
- Set over medium-high heat and whisk while bringing the mixture to a slight boil. Reduce heat to low.
- In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of cold water. Add a bit at a time to the simmering sauce while whisking until the mixture has thickened slightly (you may not need all of it).
- Once thick, but still pourable, remove from the heat and stir in sesame seeds and the green onions. Set aside while you cook the salmon.
- Lightly season salmon filets with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch non-stick skillet add olive oil and set over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon, skin side down, to the pan.
- Cook for 4-6 minutes, carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 4-6 minutes or just until tender and flaky.
- Remove from the heat and pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- Sauce
- Replace half of the water with orange juice or pineapple juice (or add a bit of lemon juice) to change the flavor.
- You can replace the homemade teriyaki sauce in this recipe with store-bought. Ensure it's a thicker sauce or thicken with a cornstarch slurry as directed in this recipe.
- Cooking Salmon
- The shape of your salmon filet will determine how long it needs to cook. A thicker filet will need longer while a thinner and flatter filet will need less time.
- Salmon should be slightly translucent in the center and flake easily with a fork.
