Method
For the Glaze
- Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer sauce until it coats a spoon, about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
For the Salmon
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels, season lightly with salt and pepper, then brush both sides with olive oil.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for 1–2 minutes until hot. Place fillets skin-side down and cook until edges turn golden brown, about 3–4 minutes.
- Flip fillets and pour half the teriyaki glaze over them. Cook for 2–3 more minutes until internal temperature reaches 125–130°F and glaze is glossy.
- Transfer salmon to a plate, loosely cover with foil, and let rest for 2 minutes.
- Arrange salmon over rice or a fresh salad, drizzle remaining glaze, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes
Optional: Garnish with extra green onions for freshness. Ensure to let salmon rest before serving for best texture.
