2 cups uncooked jasmine rice 2 ¼ cups water ½ cup soy sauce ½ cup sake | 5 tablespoons sugar ½ tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 1 tablespoon olive oil 1½ pounds salmon fillets |
Combine rice and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
To make teriyaki sauce, combine soy sauce, sake, and sugar. In a saucepan bring mixture to a rapid boil. Reduce heat to a light boil, and continue boiling until sugar is dissolved.
Sprinkle one side of salmon with ½ tablespoon sesame seeds. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add salmon, sesame seed side down; sauté until browned. Set aside until teriyaki sauce is ready.
