Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon ground mustard
• 4 (6 ounce) salmon steaks
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
• 0.25 cup lemon juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 0.25 cup sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup of marinade for basting.

Step 2

Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add salmon steaks, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.

Step 3

Broil salmon steaks under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes, brushing salmon with reserved marinade. Turn and continue to broil until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 more minutes. Brush with marinade.

Step 4

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
