Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
• Steamed vegetables (for serving)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, mirin, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently.
3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the saucepan, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
4. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with the teriyaki sauce, reserving some for later.
5. Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork.
6. While the salmon bakes, steam your favorite vegetables. Broccoli, carrots, and snap peas make a great combination.
7. Once the salmon is done, brush with any remaining teriyaki sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions, if desired. Serve alongside the steamed vegetables.

Helpful Tips

• For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
• If you don’t have mirin, you can substitute with a mix of dry sherry and a bit of sugar.
• To make this recipe even easier, you can buy pre-made teriyaki sauce from the store, although homemade always gives that personal touch.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until warm.

Pairings

This Teriyaki Glazed Salmon pairs beautifully with jasmine or brown rice. For a refreshing drink, try serving it with iced green tea or a crisp white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc.
