Savory Teriyaki Salmon Recipe Ready in Just 20 Minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 fillets Salmon Fillets (Skin-on or skinless based on preference)
- 1/2 cup Soy Sauce (Essential for umami flavor)
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (Creates sticky glaze)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (Adds nutty aroma)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger (Freshly grated)
- 2 cloves Garlic (Minced)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds (Toasted for crunch)
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions (Chopped for freshness)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C) to ensure quick cooking and caramelization.
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Whisk over medium-high heat until smooth and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper, extending it slightly over the edges to catch drips.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Generously apply the teriyaki sauce over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Bake the salmon for 7-10 minutes, checking for flakiness and bubbling sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
