This is a super-easy recipe for baked teriyaki salmon. It's baked in the oven in just 30 minutes with a homemade teriyaki sauce. This recipe requires a few special ingredients, but most can be easily found at a convenience store or supermarket.
Teriyaki marinade - In a small bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients: soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, sesame, and olive oil. Combine well.
Teriyaki sauce - In a small saucepan, add the water, cornstarch, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and honey. Place over medium heat and simmer until it thickens to a syrup consistency. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Bake salmon
Preheat the oven to 400 F / 200 C / Gas Mark 6
Take the salmon out of the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
Place the salmon fillet on the aluminum foil. Brush with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Then, pour the marinade all over the salmon.
Fold the foil close to the salmon so the juices do not burn easily in the baking tray. Then, place the lemon slices and sprinkle some more chopped dill (or parsley) on top.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until done. Alternatively, you can bake for 15 minutes, brush with teriyaki sauce, and bake another 5 to 10 minutes. Total time - 20 to 25 minutes. As a guide:- The recommended internal temperature for cooking salmon is - medium 145 F to 147 F or 60 to 63°C.- But, it can also be served at medium-rare, 122 to 127°F or 50 to 53°C (this is how I served my salmon).
Remove from the oven. Glaze with some teriyaki sauce and garnish with fresh green onions and sliced ginger.
