Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons cold water
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170 g) each
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
  • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Cook the Jasmine Rice: Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until clear. Place in a saucepan with 1 1/4 cups water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let steam covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
  2. Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth. Pour soy mixture into a small saucepan and simmer over medium heat. Slowly whisk in cornstarch slurry and cook 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook 2-3 minutes more. Brush salmon with teriyaki glaze during last minute to caramelize. Remove from heat and rest briefly.
  4. Make the Sesame Broccoli: Heat sesame oil in another skillet over medium heat. Sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds. Add broccoli florets and stir-fry 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp. Add soy sauce and red pepper flakes if using. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan until golden and sprinkle over broccoli before serving.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Plate jasmine rice, arrange teriyaki glazed salmon on or beside the rice, and add sesame broccoli. Drizzle remaining teriyaki glaze over salmon. Serve warm.

Notes

If the glaze thickens too much when cooled, gently reheat with a splash of water to loosen. Use a thin spatula to flip salmon gently to keep fillet intact. Pat salmon skin dry before cooking for crispy skin. Start rice first as it takes the longest. Toast sesame seeds fresh for best flavor.
