First, let's start by making the tantalizing teriyaki sauce that will take your salmon to another level. In a medium bowl, combine the fresh garlic, grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, and a touch of sesame oil. Mix these enticing ingredients until well incorporated, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.

Next, it's time to let the salmon soak up all the goodness of the teriyaki sauce. Reserve half of the sauce to use as a glaze during cooking. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the remaining sauce over them, ensuring each fillet is fully coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 30 minutes, giving the flavors time to infuse into the fish.

Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the marinated salmon fillets in the skillet. Cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. The key is to achieve a beautifully seared crust while maintaining a tender and flaky interior. The aroma of the teriyaki sauce will fill your kitchen, building anticipation for the delightful meal to come.

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the glaze by simmering the reserved teriyaki sauce with a mixture of cornstarch and water. Allow it to thicken, creating a luscious and glossy coating for the salmon. Once the salmon is cooked to perfection, drizzle the glaze over the fillets, letting it cascade down their sides. This final touch adds an extra burst of flavor and visual appeal.
