Scale
For the Teriyaki Salmon:
- 2 1/2 lbs salmon filet, sliced into 2″ wide slices
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- 3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 large or 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tsp freshly grated ginger, or 1/2 tsp ground ginger
To serve:
- Sesame seeds to garnish, optional
- Green onion, chopped, optional
Instructions
- Prep: Grease a large rimmed baking sheet (cover with foil and then grease for easier clean-up). Preheat oven to 400˚F.
- How to Make Easy Teriyaki Salmon: Combine sauce ingredients and stir until brown sugar is dissolved. Place individual salmon slices in a mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the salmon, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate for 20 minutes. Transfer salmon to prepared baking sheet (keep the marinade). Bake at 400˚F for 12-16 minutes or until salmon is flaky and cooked through. While salmon is baking, transfer remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (3-4 minutes). Remove from heat. Once salmon is out of the oven, brush with teriyaki syrup, then sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds as desired.
Notes
- This recipe will work for 2 to 3 lbs of salmon. You can easily scale this recipe up or down. For 1 lb of salmon, cut all of the marinade ingredients in half.
