  • *NOTE: Prep time does not include marinating time*
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 4 salmon filets, skinless
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ginger, minced
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (It is important to use low sodium. I find regular makes the sauce too salty)

  3. Place salmon filets in the ziplock bag and marinate for 30 minutes.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add salmon filets making sure not to overcrowd pan (I had to cook two at a time).
  5. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  6. Meanwhile heat the reserved marinade in the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  7. Add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  8. Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture to the marinade and simmer until thickened.
  9. Serve immediately with the teriyaki sauce drizzled on top as well as green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired
