Honey Teriyaki Salmon Recipe
Description
This Honey Teriyaki Salmon begins by simmering a mix of honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, garlic, and water until the sauce thickens into a flavorful glaze. Salmon fillets are placed skin-side down in a baking dish and coated with half of the sauce before baking at 425°F until just flaky. This method gently cooks the fish while allowing the sauce to infuse the surface with sweet and savory notes.
The final dish has a tender, moist salmon interior with a sticky, shiny coating layered with warm ginger and garlic undertones. Sesame seeds and sliced green onions scattered on top add a nutty crunch and fresh, slightly sharp flavor contrast.
Serve the Honey Teriyaki Salmon over steamed rice or alongside vegetables for a well-rounded meal that balances sweet, salty, and umami flavors. The straightforward cooking and common ingredients make it approachable for home cooks seeking a flavorful seafood dish.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup honey
- ¼ cup soy sauce gluten-free if needed
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small pot over medium-high heat, add the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and water and bring it to a boil. Let the sauce boil until it reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
