Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds salmon , cut into four 2 inch fillets
- For the Marinade:
- 1/2 cup tamari (can substitute low sodium soy sauce but tamari has a much better, richer flavor)
- 2 tablespoons mirin (can substitute sherry)
- 3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic , finely minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger root finely minced, fresh
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted
- 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch for thickening the sauce at the end, dissolved in 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Stir together the marinade ingredients, except for the cornstarch, until the sugar is dissolved. Place the salmon fillets in a gallon ziplock bag and pour the marinade over the fillets. Marinate for 30 minutes. While the salmon is marinating preheat the oven to 400 F.
- Drain the marinade into a small saucepan and set aside. Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and bake for 11-14 minutes or until an instant read thermometer registers 135 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the salmon, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.While the salmon is baking, use the leftover marinade to make a teriyaki sauce: bring the leftover marinade to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and simmer another minute to thicken. Remove from heat. Towards the end of its cooking time, brush the salmon with some of the teriyaki sauce.
- Serve immediately with some steamed jasmine or basmati rice and a veggie of choice with the remaining teriyaki sauce on the side for drizzling.
