Easy Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

This recipe features fresh salmon fillets marinated in a homemade teriyaki sauce, then grilled to perfection. It takes about 20 minutes from start to finish and serves 4 people.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger grated
1 tablespoon green onions chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.

Grill the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and has nice grill marks.
Serve: Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy hot!
