My Recipe Box - Teriyaki Salmon



I found this at Honest Cooking site. Looking at my photo I realize I forgot the sesame seeds!! Next time!


It is a keeper the only changes I would make is to increase the garlic and ginger. My salmon had skin and it worked well.

Place salmon filets in the ziplock bag and marinate for 30 minutes.

Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
Meanwhile heat the reserved marinade in the saucepan and bring to a simmer.

Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture to the marinade and simmer until thickened.
