A quick and easy honey teriyaki glazed salmon recipe with a sticky sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully, perfect for busy weeknights or special dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on preferred
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, and 2 tablespoons water. Set aside.
  2. In a separate small bowl, stir 1 teaspoon cornstarch into 1 tablespoon water until smooth to make a slurry.
  3. Pat dry each salmon fillet with paper towels to ensure a nice sear.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable or canola oil and let it shimmer.
  5. Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan. Cook without moving for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden. Flip carefully and cook the flesh side for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through but still moist.
  6. Pour the prepared glaze into the pan around the salmon. Let it simmer gently for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the glaze thickens and coats the salmon, about 1 minute.
  8. Remove the pan from heat. Spoon the sticky honey teriyaki glaze over the salmon.
  9. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

Let salmon sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before cooking. Pat dry salmon to ensure crispy skin. Simmer glaze gently to avoid burning honey. Add a splash of water if glaze becomes too thick. Avoid overcrowding the pan. Optionally marinate salmon in half the glaze for 15 minutes before cooking but not longer to prevent overpowering soy flavor.
