Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Broiled Salmon with Teriyaki Glaze.
Step 1
To start, grab a small bowl and mix together 1/4 cup of cold water with cornstarch.
Step 2
Seal the bowl tightly and give it a good shake until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
Step 3
Set this aside for now; it will help thicken your sauce later.
Step 4
Next, take a saucepan and combine the remaining 1 cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, and minced garlic.
Step 5
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring this delightful mixture to a boil, letting those flavors mingle beautifully.
Step 6
Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and stir in your cornstarch mixture.
Step 7
Keep simmering for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a luscious consistency.
Step 8
Remember to reserve 1/2 cup of this teriyaki glaze for later; it’s going to add a fantastic finish to your dish.
Step 9
Now, let’s get the oven ready! Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat your broiler to low.
Step 10
Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, and place your salmon fillets on it.
Step 11
Generously brush the salmon on all sides with the teriyaki glaze, ensuring every bite will be packed with flavor.
Step 12
Broil the salmon for 12 minutes, allowing it to cook through and develop a lovely caramelized exterior.
Step 13
After that, switch your broiler to high and brush the reserved glaze over the top of the salmon.
Step 14
Broil on high for an additional 3 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, revealing its tender, juicy interior.
Step 15
When it’s done, serve your beautifully glazed salmon garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds for that extra touch of elegance.
Step 16
Enjoy this delicious dish that’s sure to impress your family and friends!.
