Ingredients

  • 4 4 salmon filets ~4 oz. each
  • ¾ ¾ cup Teriyaki sauce divided
Garnishes as desired:
  • green onions sliced
  • sesame seeds
  • cilantro chopped

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with oil. Pat salmon filets dry and place in the baking dish, allowing to come to room temperature while the oven preheats.
  2. Using approximately ½ cup teriyaki sauce, coat each salmon filet generously. Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes until flaky and cooked through. The recommended internal temperature for salmon is 145°F. I like to remove the salmon from the oven at around 135-138°F as it will continue to rise as it rests.
  3. Remove the filets from the baking dish and brush the remaining teriyaki sauce on top as desired. Add your preferred garnishes and serve with cooked rice and a veggie for a hearty meal. 

Notes

  • Prepare the homemade teriyaki sauce up to 1 week in advance for a super quick and easy recipe!
  • Time for the recipe is written as if your teriyaki sauce is already made. If making the teriyaki sauce the same night, add 10 minutes to the total recipe time. 
  • Leftovers: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave until heated, or serve cold over a salad.
