Easy Grilled Salmon with Teriyaki Glaze

This dish features salmon fillets marinated in a homemade teriyaki glaze, then grilled to perfection. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (optional for thickening)
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Reserve a small amount for basting during grilling.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using a grill pan, heat it on the stove over medium-high heat.
  4. Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, basting with the reserved marinade, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Thicken the Sauce (Optional): If desired, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook until thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter, drizzle with the thickened sauce if using, and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
