Teriyaki Salmon 

This Teriyaki Salmon recipe offers a delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors, making it a perfect choice for a quick and healthy dinner. The homemade marinade infuses the salmon with rich taste, and broiling ensures a crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender. Ideal for weeknight meals, it pairs wonderfully with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)

• ¼ cup sesame oil

• ¼ cup lemon juice

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (or more to taste)

• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

• 1 teaspoon ground mustard

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger

• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

• 4 (6-ounce) salmon steaks

👨‍🍳 Directions

1. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside ½ cup of the marinade for basting.

2. Place the remaining marinade in a resealable plastic bag. Add the salmon steaks, ensuring they are well-coated. Seal the bag, removing excess air, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.

3. Preheat the oven's broiler and position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

4. Broil the salmon steaks for 5 minutes, basting with the reserved marinade. Turn the salmon over and continue broiling until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 5 more minutes. Baste again before serving.
