Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
• 1 medium green onion, thinly sliced
• 1.5 pounds salmon fillets
• 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 1.25 cups water, divided

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine 1/4 cup cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl with a lid. Seal and shake until cornstarch has dissolved. Set aside.

Step 2

Combine remaining 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Measure out 1/2 cup of teriyaki glaze and set aside.

Step 3

Broil salmon for 12 minutes. Turn broiler to high. Brush reserved glaze over the top. Broil on high until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes. Serve garnished with green onion and sesame seeds.

Step 4

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush on all sides with teriyaki glaze.
