Nutritional Information (per serving):

Ingredients:

For the Teriyaki Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin
• 2 tablespoons sake (or dry white wine)
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish

For the Steamed Broccoli:

• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Cooking Instructions:

1. Preparing Teriyaki Sauce:

• In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki sauce.

2. Marinating Salmon:

• Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Cooking Salmon:

• In a skillet or grill pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
• Remove the salmon from the marinade and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a caramelized exterior.
• Pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon during the last minute of cooking.

4. Steaming Broccoli:

• While the salmon is cooking, steam the broccoli. Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water and steam for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp.

5. Seasoning Broccoli:

• In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Drizzle this mixture over the steamed broccoli.
