Enjoy this simple and delicious Teriyaki Glazed Salmon recipe, perfect for a quick weeknight meal or a special occasion. The sweet and savory teriyaki glaze perfectly complements the flaky salmon, creating a dish that’s both satisfying and easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon sake (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Green onions, sliced, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, sake (if using), grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki glaze.
  3. Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Pour half of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the salmon is baking, bring the remaining teriyaki glaze to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Remove the salmon from the oven and brush with the thickened teriyaki glaze.
  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a crispier glaze, you can broil the salmon for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking, watching it closely to prevent burning.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness of the glaze by adding more or less brown sugar to your preference.
  • Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete meal.
