Description
Quick and satisfying oven-baked teriyaki salmon, rich in omega-3s and protein, that offers a sticky-sweet glaze and flaky texture.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb salmon filet, skin on
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store bought or homemade)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1/2 cup mirin
- 1/4 cup Japanese soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Combine mirin, soy sauce, and honey in a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes until thickened. Let cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400F (200C) and prepare a baking dish.
- Place the salmon skin side down in the baking dish and brush on half of the teriyaki sauce.
- Top with sesame seeds and bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes, checking for doneness if the fillet is thicker than 1.5 inches.
- Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon before serving.
Notes
Use even-thickness fillets for even cooking. Rest the fish for 3-4 minutes after baking.
