Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets skin-on or skinless
  • ¼ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thicker sauce
  • 1 tablespoon water if using cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, for garnish
  • 2 green onions sliced (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Stir well and bring to a simmer over medium heat. If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl, then add it to the saucepan. Continue simmering for 3-4 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
  2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon some of the teriyaki sauce over each fillet, coating it evenly.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
  5. Serve: Once baked, drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice, vegetables, or a side salad.

Notes

  • If you don’t want a thicker sauce, you can skip the cornstarch and water step and just simmer the sauce until it reduces naturally.
  • For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Feel free to add a squeeze of fresh lime or lemon juice over the salmon before serving for a bright, zesty finish.
  • This recipe also works great for grilling the salmon if you prefer that method.
