Salmon Teriyaki Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 (6 oz.) skin-on salmon fillets
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat them dry. Set aside.
3. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, mirin and sake in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
5. Pour in the soy sauce mixture and bring to a simmer. Cook until the sauce thickens and reduces, about 5 minutes.
6. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Spoon the teriyaki sauce over the salmon.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through. The internal temperature of the salmon should be at least 145°F.
8. Remove from the oven and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
9. Serve the salmon teriyaki hot over rice, with a side of steamed vegetables.
