Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Set aside.
Step 2
Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 4
Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet and cook for 4 minutes without moving until skin is crispy and golden.
Step 5
Flip salmon and cook for 2 minutes on the flesh side.
Step 6
Pour teriyaki glaze around the salmon and reduce heat to medium. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, tilting the pan occasionally to coat salmon in glaze, until salmon is cooked through.
Step 7
Transfer salmon to serving plates and drizzle with remaining glaze from the skillet.
Step 8
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
