- Stir together cherry tomatoes, basil, red onion, sea salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, stir together olive oil, teriyaki sauce and minced garlic. Use a basting brush to brush mixture liberally on both sides of each eggplant slice. Set aside on a tray for 5 minutes to allow eggplant to absorb marinade.
- While eggplant marinades, heat a cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes and grease with olive oil. Place 2 eggplant slices on grill pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining eggplant slices.
- Serve eggplant hot topped with tomato salad.
