• Prep Time: 15 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Servings: 4
• Skill Level: Easy

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 cup water
• Steamed rice, for serving
• Steamed vegetables (e.g., broccoli, carrots, snap peas), for serving
• Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Transfer the skillet with salmon to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
6. Meanwhile, mix the cornstarch and water in a small bowl to create a slurry.
7. In a small saucepan, bring the remaining teriyaki sauce to a simmer. Gradually add the cornstarch slurry, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens.
8. Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush it generously with the thickened teriyaki sauce.
9. Serve the teriyaki-glazed salmon over steamed rice, accompanied by an array of steamed vegetables.
10. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a finishing touch.

• For a richer flavor, marinate the salmon fillets for up to an hour.
• If you don’t have mirin, you can substitute it with a mixture of rice vinegar and extra honey.
• For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
• Make it a complete meal by serving with miso soup or a light cucumber salad.
