Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
- Green onions, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki glaze.
- Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish.
- Pour half of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, you can lightly broil it for the last 1-2 minutes to get a nice caramelization on the glaze. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove the salmon from the oven. Spoon the remaining glaze over the fillets.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier glaze, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- You can substitute maple syrup for honey for a different sweetness.
- Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables.
