A simple and flavorful Baked Teriyaki Salmon recipe, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. This dish features tender salmon fillets coated in a homemade teriyaki glaze, baked to perfection.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish.
  4. Pour half of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. 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.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven. Spoon the remaining glaze over the fillets.
  8. 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.
