📖 Instructions

1. First things first, get that salmon sorted. Pat it dry with paper towels—this helps it get beautifully crispy. Cut it into 4 (or 8, depending on how many sliders you're making) even portions. If they're not even, you'll be sad later. Trust me on this.
2. Now for the teriyaki magic. In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, and a tiny pinch of ginger. Don't go overboard with the ginger, unless you're a serious ginger fiend.
3. Brush the salmon generously with the teriyaki mixture. Make sure every inch of that lovely salmon is coated. I'm serious! Every nook and cranny!
4. Heat up your grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. We want a nice sear, so make sure it's hot. You don't want sad, soggy salmon.
5. Carefully place the salmon fillets onto the hot surface. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through and beautifully browned. Don't rush it; perfect salmon takes time.
6. While the salmon is cooking, lightly toast your slider buns. I prefer a nice, warm bun to complete the slider experience.
7. Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a couple of minutes before carefully flaking it with a fork. This makes it easier to assemble the sliders.
8. Finally, assemble your masterpiece. Spread some of that leftover teriyaki sauce on the slider buns. Add the flaked salmon, a few sesame seeds for extra crunch and visual appeal. It’s amazing what a bit of sesame seed can do!
9. Serve immediately and enjoy your incredibly flavorful and impressive Teriyaki Salmon Sliders! They're perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a fun get-together. You may need to make two batches! Because they’re so good...
