Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons sake (Japanese rice wine) or dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- Steamed rice, for serving
- Stir-fried vegetables, for serving
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake (or white wine), brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki sauce.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag, and pour the teriyaki sauce over them. Make sure the salmon is well coated in the sauce. Cover or seal the dish/bag, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, shaking off any excess sauce, and place them on the grill. Reserve the marinade for basting.
- Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and caramelized on the outside, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
- Once the salmon is cooked through, remove it from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.
- Garnish the grilled teriyaki salmon with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
- Serve the salmon hot, alongside steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.
