Ingredients
For the Salmon
- 4 pieces Salmon Filets Each about 6 oz.
For the Sauce
- 2 tsp Cornstarch
- 4 tsp Water
- 2/3 cup Orange Juice
- 1 tsp Orange Zest
- 1/3 cup Soy Sauce
- 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
- 1 tsp Ginger (minced)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
- Sesame Seeds (optional)
- Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- Chopped Green Onions (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the Sauce
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water.
- Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan, including the cornstarch mixture.
- Bring the sauce to a low simmer and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until it lightly thickens.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
Bake the Salmon
- While your sauce is cooling, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with a lightly oiled sheet of foil.
- Place the salmon filets on the sheet and baste generously with the sauce, reserving about half of the sauce for later use.
- Put the salmon in the oven and bake for 14 minutes.
- When the salmon is nice and flaky, it’s ready.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and baste it again with the reserved sauce.
- Place the salmon under the broiler for about a minute or until you get a golden, lightly charred top.
Serve
- Serve the salmon over a bed of steamed rice, topped with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, chopped green onion, and sesame seeds.
Notes
For thicker sauce, adjust cornstarch. Add your favorite vegetables for a complete one-pan meal. Marinate salmon in teriyaki sauce for 30 min before baking for extra flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
