Teriyaki Glazed Broiled Salmon

Combine 1/4 cup of chilled water with cornstarch in a small, covered container. Stir until the starch is fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth; set it aside momentarily.

In a separate saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and sesame oil over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil before reducing the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cornstarch mixture that you prepared earlier and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Transfer half of the reserved glaze to a separate container and set it aside for later use.

Preheat your oven's broiler to a low setting, positioning the rack about 6 inches away from the heat source. Place the salmon fillet on a sheet of aluminum foil, leaving enough room to cook it evenly. Brush all sides of the salmon with the remaining teriyaki glaze.

Place the salmon under the broiler and cook for 12 minutes, flipping it halfway through. After 3 minutes of high-heat broiling, brush the reserved glaze over the top of the salmon. It should flake easily with a fork at this point. Garnish your dish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
