Equipment
- baking dish
- oven
- silicone brush
Ingredients
Salmon and Sauce
- 4 pieces salmon fillets about 4 ounces each
- 1 batch teriyaki sauce homemade or store-bought
To Serve
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups cooked broccoli
- ⅓ cup diced scallion
Instructions
Cooking Steps
- If using previously frozen salmon, let defrost in the fridge overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prep the teriyaki sauce.
- Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish to prevent any sticking.
- Cut your salmon into one inch or so cubes. Cover with about half of the teriyaki sauce.
- If you want to cook the filets whole, add the salmon skin side down with half of the teriyaki sauce.
- If you're hungry, you can skip marinating. Otherwise, allow the salmon to marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, depending on preference and thickness of salmon fillets.
- Check at 10 minutes; they should easily flake with a fork.
- For a crispy top, broil for a couple minutes if desired.
- Toss or drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and chopped scallions.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Once prepared, this salmon will store in the fridge for about 2 days. Reheat on the stove or in the oven for best results.
