How to Make Teriyaki Salmon Steaks

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup mirin, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon sake (optional), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic.
  2. Place salmon steaks (about 1 inch thick) in a shallow baking dish. Pour the teriyaki mixture evenly over the salmon, ensuring both sides are coated.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, flipping the salmon halfway through.
  4. Preheat your broiler to 500°F (260°C).
  5. Place the baking dish on the top rack of your oven and broil for 7-10 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of your steaks; watch carefully to prevent overcooking.
  6. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as wild rice and steamed vegetables.
