Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame seeds, ground mustard, ginger, and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Set aside 1/2 cup of marinade for basting.
Pour remaining marinade into a resealable plastic bag. Add salmon steaks, coat with marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
Broil salmon steaks under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes, brushing salmon with reserved marinade. Turn and broil until salmon is opaque and flakes easily, about 5 more minutes. Brush with marinade.

For the best flavor, try making your teriyaki sauce with a blend of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and a touch of honey or sugar, though store-bought options are convenient. Marinating the salmon for 15-30 minutes in the sauce can enhance the flavor, but avoid marinating for too long, as the acids can start to break down the fish. You can bake, pan-sear, or grill the salmon, but broil it for a beautifully caramelized finish for the last 1-2 minutes.
