Easy Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

Easy Teriyaki Salmon

Serves 4

Simple ingredients go a long way in this flavorful dish, perfect for dressing up your salmon and serving alongside hot rice.

Ingredients:

  • 4 salmon fillets with skin on (about 6 ounces each), pin bones removed
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon grated, peeled fresh ginger root
  • OPTIONAL:
  • Thinly sliced green onions
  • Cooked rice

Directions:

  1. Lightly sprinkle salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Keep in mind that teriyaki sauce is also salty.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, combine sugar, soy sauce, and ginger. Bring to simmer and stir until sugar melts.
  3. Carefully lay salmon in pan, skin side up. Cook 3 minutes.
  4. Flip salmon over and continue cooking an additional 2 to 5 minutes or until centers of fillets are opaque. As fish cooks, tilt pan and gently spoon accumulated sauce over tops, continually basting fish.
  5. If skillet is oven-proof and further browning is desired, broil in a preheated oven for a minute or two. To thicken sauce, remove salmon from skillet and boil sauce until desired consistency.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with hot rice.
