Instructions

1. 1.
   Begin by marinating the salmon fillet in 3 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes to infuse the fish with flavor. Use a small dish to ensure the salmon is fully coated. For even better absorption, flip the fillet halfway through marinating.
2. 2.
   Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is warm, place the marinated salmon skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, letting the skin become crispy. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
3. 3.
   While the salmon is cooking, prepare the serving bowl with 1 cup of cooked sushi rice. Make sure the rice is warm for the best texture.
4. 4.
   Arrange 1/2 cup of sliced cucumber around the rice, fanning them out for an attractive presentation. The cucumber adds a refreshing crunch and contrasts nicely with the savory salmon.
5. 5.
   Once the salmon is done, place it atop the rice. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce from the pan over the entire dish. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds over the salmon for a nutty flavor and a touch of texture. Serve immediately and enjoy your single-serving Japanese delight!
