Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 lb salmon cut into two pieces
- 1 tablespoon oil
Honey Teriyaki Glaze
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Japanese cooking sake
- 4 tablespoons honey
- white sesame for ganishing
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the Honey Teriyaki Glaze in a bowl and whisk until well blended. Then, mix the salmon with the glaze.
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the oil and pan-fry the salmon on both sides until it’s fully cooked and the glaze thickens.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
- For the best honey teriyaki glaze, make sure to whisk the ingredients well until it’s nice and smooth. If you prefer a thicker glaze, just let it cook a bit longer in the skillet. This will give you that perfectly sticky, flavorful coating that makes the salmon irresistible!
- If you’re like me and love extra sauce, go ahead and double the glaze ingredients. It’s perfect for drizzling over the salmon and your rice or noodles – so much more flavor!
- For that perfect sear, place your salmon skin-side down when the oil just starts to shimmer. If it’s smoking, the pan is too hot, and the fish might burn. You want that quiet sizzle—not a loud sizzle!
- Cook 80% of your salmon on the skin side, and only flip it to cook the top for the last bit. This trick guarantees crispy skin and a juicy, tender inside every time.
