Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon grated ginger
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water
• Steamed rice for serving
• Sesame seeds for garnish
• Chopped green onions for garnish
• Stir-fried vegetables of your choice

Instructions

1. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining teriyaki sauce until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
5. Prepare the Rice and Vegetables: While the salmon is grilling, prepare steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables according to your preference.
6. Serve: Place the grilled salmon on a bed of steamed rice, drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve with chopsticks on the side.
