Teriyaki Salmon Recipe
Description
This recipe highlights salmon slices marinated in a complex teriyaki sauce made from teriyaki and hoisin sauces, soy, vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ginger. After marinating 20 minutes, the salmon is baked on a greased sheet until flaky and cooked through, typically 12-16 minutes depending on thickness.
The leftover marinade is boiled and simmered to reduce and thicken, then brushed over the cooked salmon to add concentrated flavor and a glossy finish. Sesame seeds and chopped green onions garnish the dish, providing crunch and freshness.
The recipe is flexible for salmon quantities from 2 to 3 pounds, with marinade ingredients adjustable proportionally. This dish pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables, offering a balanced presentation of glazed fish.
Ingredients
For the Teriyaki Salmon:
- 2 1/2 lbs salmon filet sliced into 2" wide slices
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- 3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
- 3 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp white vinegar
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 garlic minced, large or 3 medium cloves
- 2 tsp ginger or 1/2 tsp ground ginger, freshly grated
To serve:
- sesame seeds optional, to garnish
- green onion chopped, optional
Instructions
Prep:
- Grease a large rimmed baking sheet (cover with foil and then grease for easier clean-up). Preheat oven to 400˚F.
How to Make Easy Teriyaki Salmon:
- Combine sauce ingredients and stir until brown sugar is dissolved.
- Place individual salmon slices in a mixing bowl. Pour the sauce over the salmon, cover with plastic wrap and let marinate 20 minutes (at room temp or refrigerated).
- Transfer salmon to prepared baking sheet (keep the marinade). Bake at 400 for 12-16 min or until salmon is flaky and cooked through, bake times may vary by thickness of salmon.
- While salmon is baking, transfer remaining marinade to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (3-4 min) then remove from heat.
- Once salmon is out of the oven, brush with teriyaki syrup, then sprinkle with chopped green onion and sesame seeds as desired.
Notes
- The marinade and salmon quantities can be scaled; for 1 pound salmon, halve marinade ingredients.
- Baking times vary by salmon thickness; check for flakiness to confirm doneness.
