Ingredients

For the teriyaki salmon:

4 salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon mirin (optional)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Sliced green onions, for garnish

For the rice:

1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed

1 1/4 cups water

Method

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, mirin (if using), minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki glaze.

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to make a slurry.

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour half of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon, reserving the remaining glaze for later. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Meanwhile, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

In the Instant Pot, add the rinsed jasmine rice and water. Stir to combine.

Place a trivet or steamer basket on top of the rice mixture. Arrange the marinated salmon fillets on the trivet or in the steamer basket.

Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the valve to the "Sealing" position. Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" setting and set the timer for 3 minutes.

Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 5 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to the "Venting" position to release any remaining pressure.

Carefully remove the lid and transfer the salmon fillets to a plate. Set aside.

Turn on the "Saute" function of the Instant Pot and bring the remaining teriyaki glaze to a simmer.

Stir the cornstarch slurry into the glaze and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until thickened.

Return the salmon fillets to the Instant Pot and spoon the thickened teriyaki glaze over them.

Serve the Instant Pot Teriyaki Salmon hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, and accompanied by jasmine rice.
