This Teriyaki Salmon is tender, flaky, easy, and delicious! Healthy to boot. The teriyaki sauce is the best sauce you'll ever brush onto any grilled meats.
Garnish: toasted sesame seeds, thinly sliced green onions
Instructions
Teriyaki Sauce: In a heavy medium pan, combine all sauce ingredients. Whisk to combine well. Bring to a boil. Lower to simmer and whisk until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute. Taste and add more sugar, if you like it sweeter. Keep warm.
Prep Salmon: thoroughly dry salmon fillets with paper towels. Sprinkle a light layer of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides (or just top side, if bottom has skin on.)
Cook: lightly grease and heat outdoor grill (or indoor cast iron grill) until very hot and smoky. Lay salmon fillets on grill and cook on medium-high heat until just-cooked. If cooking on stovetop, cover pan partially to reduce smoke. Cook about 2-3 min per side, depending on thickness. Do not over-cook. Let cooked fish rest at room temp for a few minutes before serving.
Serve: drizzle generously with teriyaki sauce and garnish as desired. Serve immediately. Delicious over a bed of rice or over a plate of green salad.
