Simple fish with a homemade teriyaki glaze cooked under the broiler in the oven. Salmon and teriyaki flavor go so well together, but store-bought teriyaki sauce is incredibly thin and flows off the fish instead of covering it. This homemade recipe, which is more of a coating that adheres to the fish, is something I came up with.

Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups water, divided
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 ½ pounds salmon fillets
- 1 medium green onion, thinly sliced
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Combine 1/4 cup cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl with a lid. Seal and shake until cornstarch has dissolved. Set aside.
- Combine remaining 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and garlic in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Simmer until sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Measure out 1/2 cup of teriyaki glaze and set aside.
- Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven’s broiler to low. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush on all sides with teriyaki glaze.
- Broil salmon for 12 minutes. Turn broiler to high. Brush reserved glaze over the top. Broil on high until salmon flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes. Serve garnished with green onion and sesame seeds.

This is a wonderful dish. I did add a bit of crushed red pepper flakes. Lip smacking good.
I love a recipe that is easy to remember as well. This was it. Great addition to the salmon repertoire.
