Learn how to make delicious Baked Salmon Teriyaki with our easy-to-follow recipe. Perfectly glazed and full of flavor, this dish is a must-try!
Ingredients
- – 4 salmon fillets (4 oz/113 g each)
- – 1 batch teriyaki sauce
- – 2 cups cooked rice (480 ml)
- – 2 cups cooked broccoli (480 ml)
- – 1/3 cup diced scallion (80 ml)
Instructions
- If your salmon was frozen, ensure it thaws in the refrigerator overnight.
- Set your oven to warm up to 400°F.
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce.
- Coat a baking dish with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.
- Slice the salmon into cubes about an inch wide. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them.
- Alternatively, if you prefer, place the whole salmon fillets skin-side down and cover with half of the teriyaki sauce using a silicone brush for even spreading.
- If you’re short on time and can’t marinate, feel free to proceed with baking. Otherwise, let the salmon soak in the sauce for 20 minutes.
- Place in the oven without a cover and cook for 12-18 minutes, adjusting for your taste and the thickness of the salmon. If in smaller cubes, they will need 10-14 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, check the salmon; it should flake easily with a fork and separate from the skin. The cubed pieces should have a uniform color.
- For a crispy finish, you may broil the salmon briefly.
- Pour or sprinkle the rest of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and save some for the rice or broccoli if you like.
- Add a garnish of sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and diced scallions before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Try using brown rice instead of white rice for a healthier option with increased fiber content.
- Add bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrients.
- Enhance broccoli’s flavor by roasting it with olive oil and garlic powder before adding it to the dish.
