Instructions

In a small saucepan, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until sauce thickens and turns glossy, about 1–2 minutes. Remove from heat.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 3–4 minutes until crisp. Flip and cook another 2–3 minutes until nearly done.

Brush salmon generously with the orange teriyaki sauce. Let it caramelize in the pan for 1–2 minutes.

Transfer to plates, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

Use fresh orange juice for the brightest flavor. Don’t overcook the salmon. Toast sesame seeds before garnishing for extra flavor.
