🕒 The Details
- Prep time: 5 mins 🔪
- Cook time: 10–12 mins 🔥
- Servings: 2–3 people 👨👩👧
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 3–4 Salmon fillets 🐟
- 1/2 cup Teriyaki sauce (bottled or homemade) 🍯
- 1 tbsp Olive oil or sesame oil 🫒
- 1 tsp Minced garlic 🧄
- 1 tsp Fresh grated ginger ✨
- Garnish: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions 🌱💎
👩🍳 Let’s Get Cooking!
- Marinate: In a shallow bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and ginger. Place the salmon fillets in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes (if you have the time!) to soak up all that flavor. 🥣🐟✨
- Heat it Up: Heat your oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. 🍳🔥
- Sear: Place the salmon skin-side down (if they have skin) and cook for 4–5 minutes until the skin is crispy. ⏲️
- Flip & Glaze: Carefully flip the fillets. Pour the remaining marinade into the pan. Cook for another 3–4 minutes while spooning the bubbling sauce over the top until the salmon is perfectly flaky and the glaze is thick and glossy. 🌊🍯
- Serve: Plate your salmon over a bed of fluffy white rice or steamed veggies. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions for that restaurant-quality look! 🍚🥢🥗
💡 Pro-Tip:
Want to use your air fryer? Cook at 400°F for 8–10 minutes, brushing with extra glaze halfway through for a perfectly caramelized finish! 🌡️💨
