A quick and easy sesame-crusted pan-fried salmon recipe glazed with a sweet and sticky homemade teriyaki sauce

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon ((approx. 3 inches wide, 1.5 inch thick))
  • sesame seeds
  • salt
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2.5 tablespoons sugar ((or honey))
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic ((approx. 2 cloves))
  • 1 teaspoon ginger ((grated))
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil ((mix it after sauce has finished cooking))
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 7 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 2 tablespoon water ((cold))
  • green onions ((for garnish at the end))

Directions

  1. 1

    Take the salmon out of the fridge and keep it at room temperature while you are making the teriyaki sauce

  2. 2

    If you are rinsing the salmon or using a previously frozen piece of salmon, make sure to pat dry fish so that the sesame seeds don't slide off the fish

  3. 3

    Set the stove to medium heat and set a frying pan on top. Add a bit of oil and butter to the pan and wait until the butter has melted and the pan is hot

  4. 4

    Brush (or drizzle) the teriyaki sauce on top of the salmon and serve it with rice or some vegetables. I like to drizzle a bit of the teriyaki sauce onto my rice as well for some extra flavor
