Calories: 336kcal
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs salmon
- 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp sliced green onions optional
- 1 tsp sesame seeds optional
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp corn starch
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/8 cup water
Instructions
- Pat dry defrosted raw salmon. Important: make sure salmon is completely defrosted!
- In a small bowl, combine all teriyaki sauce ingredients. Mix well.
- Heat large skillet. Add vegetable oil. Once oil is heated, bring salmon to skillet and pan fry on one side for a few minutes. If using skin-on salmon, pan fry it skin side up first.
- Flip salmon and lower heat to medium low. Cover if needed, especially if it is a thick cut of salmon because it will take longer to cook.
- After a few minutes, when it looks like salmon is almost cooked, add teriyaki sauce to skillet. Spoon spoonfuls of sauces and drizzle onto salmon as it cooks.
- When salmon is cooked and no longer translucent, or internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, remove skillet from heat.
- Serve salmon with teriyaki sauce. Optional: garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
