Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Salmon:

  • 2 1/2 lbs of salmon fillet cut into 2-inch wide portions
  • 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 garlic cloves or 3 medium ones finely minced
  • 2 tsp grated fresh ginger or 1/2 tsp of ground ginger

Instructions

  • Prep:
  • Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet (lining it with foil first makes for super easy clean-up). Go ahead and preheat the oven to 400˚F.
  • How to Make Easy Teriyaki Salmon:
  • Mix all the sauce ingredients together and give it a good stir until the brown sugar melts away.
  • Pop those salmon slices into a mixing bowl and pour the sauce over them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let them marinate for 20 minutes. You can do it at room temperature or pop it in the fridge!
  • Place the salmon onto your prepared baking sheet, making sure to save the marinade. Pop it in the oven at 400°F for about 12-16 minutes, or until it flakes easily and is fully cooked. Remember, the baking time might depend on the thickness of your salmon.
  • During the salmon's baking process, pour the rest of the marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat to let it simmer. Stir until it slightly thickens, about 3-4 minutes, and then take it off the heat.
  • After removing the salmon from the oven, glaze it with teriyaki syrup and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds to taste.
