For a richer flavor, consider using dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar. If you prefer a spicier glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the saucepan along with the other ingredients. To ensure the salmon cooks evenly, choose fillets that are of similar thickness. Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete and balanced meal.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a small bowl with a lid, combine ¼ cup cold water and cornstarch. Seal and shake vigorously until the cornstarch is fully dissolved, creating a smooth slurry. Set aside. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium saucepan, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. (Cook time: ~5 minutes)
03
StepOnce boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened to a glaze-like consistency, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat. (Cook time: ~5 minutes)
04
StepDivide the teriyaki glaze, reserving ½ cup in a separate bowl for later use. This will be brushed on at the end for an extra layer of flavor and shine.
05
StepPosition an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup. (Prep time: ~3 minutes)
06
StepPlace the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Generously brush all sides of the salmon with the remaining teriyaki glaze, ensuring each fillet is well coated. (Prep time: ~2 minutes)
07
StepBroil the salmon for approximately 12 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. After 12 minutes, brush the reserved ½ cup of teriyaki glaze evenly over the top of each fillet. (Cook time: ~12 minutes)
08
StepIncrease the broiler heat to high. Broil for an additional 3 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is beautifully caramelized. (Cook time: ~3 minutes)
09
StepRemove the broiled salmon from the oven and let rest for a minute or two. Garnish generously with thinly sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy!
