- 4 salmon filets about 1 - 1 1/4 pounds
- 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce plus more for serving
- 1/4 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 1/2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3 - 4 tablespoons cooking oil
- Sliced green onions optional, for garnish
Using a basting brush, coat salmon fillets with teriyaki sauce. Place salmon in refrigerator and let sit for about 10 minutes to marinate.
In a shallow dish or pie plate, stir together breadcrumbs, sesame seeds and salt. Dip coated salmon into dish to coat, pressing firmly to allow crust to stick to salmon.
In a large skillet, coat bottom with oil and heat to medium-high. Place salmon, crusted side down and sear for 3 minutes. Turn salmon and cook for another 3 - 5 minutes (depending on thickness of salmon).
Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce and garnish with green onion before serving.
