Description
A simple and delicious recipe for baked teriyaki salmon that is easy to prepare and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon minced ginger
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, olive oil, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Brush the teriyaki mixture generously over the salmon, reserving a small amount for later.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for a caramelized finish.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle the reserved teriyaki sauce over the top. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the salmon in the teriyaki mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
- You can substitute the salmon with chicken breasts or tofu for a different protein option.
- Serve with steamed vegetables or over rice for a complete meal.
