Description

This terrific teriyaki salmon recipe features a homemade sweet and savory marinade that doubles as a basting sauce for tender, juicy salmon steaks.

Ingredients

1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar, or more to taste
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
4 (6 ounce) salmon steaks

Directions

1 Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup of marinade for basting.
2 Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add salmon steaks, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
3 Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
4 Broil salmon steaks under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes, brushing salmon with reserved marinade. Turn and continue to broil until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 more minutes. Brush with marinade.
