Ingredients:

For the Teriyaki Marinade:

• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons sake (or dry white wine)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 4 salmon fillets

For the Sesame Ginger Glaze:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

For Serving:

• Steamed white or brown rice
• Stir-fried vegetables (such as bell peppers, snap peas, and carrots)
• Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki marinade.
2. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Cover or seal the dish/bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to allow the flavors to penetrate the salmon.
3. While the salmon is marinating, prepare the sesame ginger glaze. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, sesame oil, and sesame seeds. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard any excess marinade.
5. Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes. Carefully flip the fillets using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Drizzle with sesame ginger glaze and garnish with sliced green onions.
7. Serve the Japanese-Inspired Teriyaki Salmon hot, alongside steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
8. Enjoy your tender and flavorful teriyaki salmon, a delicious fusion of Japanese-inspired flavors that will transport you to the serene shores of Kyoto with every bite!

With its succulent salmon, sweet and savory teriyaki marinade, and aromatic sesame ginger glaze, this dish is sure to be a hit at your dinner table. Whether you serve it for a special occasion or as a weeknight meal, this fusion creation is guaranteed to impress your family and friends. Oishii! (Delicious!)

I personally enjoy serving it over a bed of steamed jasmine rice to soak up all the flavors, though it would be just as tasty on its own!
