No reviews

Tender, flaky salmon fillets baked in a savory-sweet homemade teriyaki sauce, finished with green onions and sesame seeds for a quick and flavorful dinner.

  • Total Time: 43 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 24 ounces salmon fillets
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a gallon-size resealable bag, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Add salmon fillets and refrigerate for 20–60 minutes to marinate.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray.
  3. Place salmon fillets in the prepared dish. Pour marinade over the top.
  4. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Spoon teriyaki sauce from the dish over the salmon before serving.
  6. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not marinate salmon for more than 1 hour to prevent it from becoming too salty.
  • For a thicker sauce, transfer marinade to a saucepan and simmer for 3–5 minutes until reduced before pouring over the baked salmon.
  • Serve with steamed rice and vegetables for a complete meal.
