Easy Homemade Baked Teriyaki Salmon with Sesame Ginger Glaze

Ingredients

• •4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• •1/3 cup soy sauce
• •1/4 cup honey
• •2 tablespoons sesame oil
• •1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• •1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
• •2 cloves garlic, minced
• •1 teaspoon cornstarch
• •1 tablespoon water
• •1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• •2 green onions, sliced thinly

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki glaze.

3. 3

   In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir it into the glaze mixture to thicken.

4. 4

   Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is present. Lightly brush or spoon a generous amount of the glaze over each fillet.

5. 5

   Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flaky, basting with more glaze halfway through cooking.

6. 6

   While the salmon bakes, lightly toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and aromatic, about 1-2 minutes.

7. 7

   Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish.

8. 8

   Serve immediately with steamed rice or vegetables, and drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
