Ingredients
•
1 1/4 cups water, divided
•
2 tablespoons cornstarch
•
1/4 cup soy sauce

Directions
1
Combine ¼ cup cold water and cornstarch in a small bowl with a lid. Seal and shake until cornstarch dissolved; set aside.

Combine remaining 1 cup water, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and sesame oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer; stir in cornstarch mixture. Simmer until sauce thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Reserve ½ cup glaze; set aside.
3
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to low. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. Brush all sides with remaining teriyaki glaze.
