The method
Step by step
- 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger for the teriyaki sauce.
About 2 min
- 2
In a separate tiny bowl, combine the cornstarch and water to create a slurry; set aside.
About 1 min
- 3
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Drying the salmon helps the skin crisp up if you're leaving it on.
- 4
Heat vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
About 1 min
- 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
About 5 min
- 6
Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through to your desired doneness.
About 4 min
Cook’s note: Cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon.
- 7
Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
- 8
Reduce the heat to medium, then pour the prepared teriyaki sauce into the same skillet.
About 1 min
- 9
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, then slowly whisk in the cornstarch slurry.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Whisk constantly to prevent lumps.
- 10
Cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency.
About 2 min
- 11
Return the cooked salmon to the skillet and spoon the teriyaki sauce generously over each fillet, ensuring they are well coated.
About 1 min
- 12
While the salmon is cooking, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: You can steam them in a microwave-safe bowl with a splash of water, covered, or in a steamer basket over boiling water.
- 13
Divide the warm cooked rice between two bowls.
- 14
Place a salmon fillet on top of the rice in each bowl, alongside the steamed broccoli.
- 15
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired, and serve immediately.
