Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon divided
- 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Divide salmon into 4 equal size pieces.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, olive oil and rice vinegar until well combined.
- Place salmon pieces in the teriyaki mixture and coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and place in the refrigerator to marinate for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange salmon (not touching) on the baking sheet and bake for 12-16 minutes, reserving the sauce. Cooking time will depend on size and thickness; it's done when the salmon is a light pink color and is tender and flaky.
- While the salmon is baking, pour the sauce into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and stir often, until sauce is reduced and thickened; about 4-5 minutes. You will know it's done when it coats the back of a spoon. Set aside.
- Remove salmon from the oven. Pour thickened sauce over each piece.
- If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes after the sauce is painted on to brown and caramelize the sauce.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion immediately before serving.
