Baked Teriyaki Salmon
Description
This recipe for Baked Teriyaki Salmon starts with skinless salmon fillets placed in a greased baking dish. The teriyaki sauce combines low-sodium soy sauce, fresh orange juice, honey, minced garlic and ginger, chili flakes for heat, fresh lemon juice, and a gluten-free flour to thicken. This mixture is whisked thoroughly and poured over the salmon before baking.
The salmon is baked at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until it flakes easily, absorbing the sauce's sweet, savory, and slightly spicy notes. The orange juice and lemon juice add brightness while garlic and ginger contribute aromatic depth. The thickened sauce clings to the fish, enhancing moisture and flavor.
After baking, the salmon is garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, adding subtle crunch and freshness. This dish pairs well with steamed vegetables or rice to complement the sauce’s taste and texture.
For best results, use fresh ginger, garlic, and lemon. The recipe allows alternatives for sweeteners like brown sugar or maple syrup. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days or frozen for extended storage.
