Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs Salmon fillet, skin on or off
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 1/4 cup Mirin (sweet rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 green onion, thinly sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and minced garlic. This is your teriyaki sauce.
- Step 3: Place the salmon fillet in the prepared baking dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce evenly over the salmon, ensuring it's coated on all sides.
- Step 4: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fillet.
- Step 5: Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving.
- Step 6: Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, steamed vegetables, or a salad.
Notes
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or oven to avoid drying out the salmon; a few splashes of extra mirin can help keep it moist.
- Serve this delightful salmon with a side of quinoa and roasted asparagus for a complete and healthy meal.
- For a richer, deeper teriyaki flavor, marinate the salmon in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking.
