kcalThis Teriyaki salmon recipe is simple, quick, and is super flavorful. Salmon fillets are pan-seared to perfection and turn out super flaky, delicious with our homemade teriyaki sauce!
Ingredients
1 1/2 lb (650g) salmon filets, cut into individual portions
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 teaspoons gluten-free tamari (or soy sauce, or Nuoc Mam)
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon grated garlic
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon Sriracha, optional (or any hot sauce you like)
1 scallion, chopped
Directions
- To make this easy teriyaki salmon: Mix the honey, sesame oil, Tamari (or soy sauce), garlic, ginger, and Sriracha together in a small bowl.
- In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and lay the salmon fillets skinless-side first. Cook the salmon fillets to medium-rare, flipping once with a large spatula. Lower the heat and pour the Teriyaki sauce over the salmon so it is completely coated.
- Sprinkle the spring onions over the top of the salmon. Continue to cook on high heat for a couple of minutes, brushing occasionally, with the sauce until the salmon is glazed and cooked to your liking. You can broil the salmon for 2 minutes under the broiler to crisp up the top if you like. Serve the Teriyaki salmon with extra Tamari or soy sauce on the side if you like. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make it a teriyaki salmon rice bowl with sushi rice and veggies such as edamame, avocado, pickled carrots, and cucumbers on the side.
- Adjust the amount of ingredients for the Teriyaki sauce. It’s a great way to control the sweetness and saltiness of the sauce.
