Description
A simple recipe for baked salmon glazed with a homemade teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1 Green onion, sliced, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic. This is your teriyaki sauce.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush half of the teriyaki sauce mixture over the tops of the salmon fillets.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- During the last 2 minutes of baking, brush the remaining sauce over the salmon.
- Remove from the oven. Drizzle with sesame oil and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute honey for brown sugar if you prefer a different sweetness level.
- For a thicker glaze, simmer the extra teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan until reduced slightly before brushing it on at the end.
