Ingredients
  

Teriyaki Salmon Base
  • 3 x salmon fillets (~6 oz each)
  • 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
Garnish & Variation Additions
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp green onions sliced, for garnish
  • 1 tsp ginger freshly grated, for one variation

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to ensure a crispier skin.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and honey to create the marinade.
Cooking
  1. Place salmon in a shallow dish, pour marinade over, and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Remove salmon from marinade, place on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 12-18 minutes until cooked through and flaky.
Variations & Serving
  1. For the standard teriyaki salmon, simply garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
  2. For a ginger teriyaki variation, add grated ginger to the marinade for one fillet.
  3. For a spicier option, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade for a third fillet.
  4. Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite side dishes, like rice and steamed vegetables.

Notes

This recipe is highly adaptable; feel free to experiment with different herbs or spices in your marinade. For best results, adjust cooking time based on salmon thickness to prevent overcooking. Serve with a side of steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
