Teriyaki Glazed Salmon

Step 1

Pat dry defrosted raw salmon. Important: make sure salmon is completely defrosted!

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine all teriyaki sauce ingredients. Mix well.

Step 3

Heat large skillet. Add vegetable oil. Once oil is heated, bring salmon to skillet and sear on one side for a few minutes. If using skin-on salmon, sear it skin side up first.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

When salmon is cooked and no longer translucent, or internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, remove skillet from heat.

Step 7

Serve salmon with teriyaki sauce. Optional: garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
