Salmon Teriyaki Donburi

Ingredients

• 2 6 oz each salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp mirin
• 2 tbsp sake(optional)
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1.5 cups short-grain white rice
• 2 sliced green onions(optional)
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds(optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the rice and cook it in a rice cooker or pot with 1.75 cups water, about 15 minutes, keeping it covered and warm.

2. 2

   Whisk soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Stir in cornstarch until dissolved.

3. 3

   Pat salmon dry and season lightly. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear salmon skin-side up for 3-4 minutes until golden.

4. 4

   Flip salmon, reduce heat to medium, and pour in the teriyaki sauce. Simmer 4-5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the salmon until it thickens and coats the fish.

5. 5

   Fluff rice and divide between two bowls. Top with glazed salmon, drizzle remaining sauce from the pan, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
