Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 salmon fillets
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Flavor Enhancers:
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C), creating the perfect environment for baking the salmon.
- Whisk together ½ cup teriyaki sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a small bowl to create a vibrant marinade.
- Arrange 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a clean baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping.
- Generously brush the teriyaki mixture over each salmon fillet, coating them completely with the flavorful glaze.
- Allow the salmon to marinate at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, letting the flavors penetrate the fish.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated 400°F oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle 1 tablespoon sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the salmon for a fresh, crunchy garnish.
- Serve the salmon immediately while hot and glistening with the teriyaki glaze.
Notes
- Fresh salmon makes a huge difference, so select high-quality, bright-colored fillets from a trusted fishmonger.
- Marinating for just 10-15 minutes allows the teriyaki flavors to penetrate without making the fish tough.
- For a gluten-free version, replace traditional teriyaki sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the salmon from sticking.
