To cook teriyaki salmon, marinate salmon fillets in teriyaki sauce for 20-30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 400°F, or heat a pan over medium heat. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes or grill for 5-7 minutes until flaky. Serve garnished with sesame seeds and green onions for a tasty meal.
Begin by mixing soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic in a bowl. This mixture becomes the teriyaki sauce. Next, heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then pour the teriyaki sauce over the fish. Flip the fillets carefully and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and glistening with glaze.
To serve, you can garnish the dish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. This meal pairs well with steamed rice or vegetables. Now that you’ve learned how to cook teriyaki salmon swiftly, explore more variations and sides that can enhance this dish in our next section.
