Teriyaki Salmon

Teriyaki Salmon – easy and lip-smacking good salmon fillets marinated in a sweet and tangy homemade teriyaki sauce and baked to perfection. Serve it with teriyaki glaze, veggies and rice and you’ll have one amazing meal in under an hour. And it’s a great meal-prep dinner, too!

Teriyaki Salmon

I just love salmon! In fact, it’s my go-to post-holiday indulgence or whenever I feel like shedding off some pounds. I guess it’s because it makes a great low-carb dinner, and just downright versatile. In case you didn’t know, I’ve got loads of salmon recipes here on the blog.

And when hubby brought home a couple of pounds of salmon fillet after chaperoning our son (and his friends), I got so excited to make a fish spinoff of this Teriyaki Chicken recipe.

Boy oh boy, I’m so glad I did. The glaze teriyaki is spot on as it complements the delicateness of the baked salmon. Sweet, sticky, tangy and incredibly delicious!

Teriyaki Salmon

Teriyaki Salmon Marinade

This recipe starts with seasoning the salmon fillet and then marinating it in a teriyaki sauce. You can actually purchase it at the grocery stores or any Asian specialty stores, however, I prefer mine made from scratch. Don’t worry though, this teriyaki marinade uses simple and mostly everyday ingredients. Here’s what the sauce is made of:

  • minced garlic and ginger
  • soy sauce
  • brown sugar
  • sriracha sauce
  • apple cider vinegar
  • water
  • cornstarch

If you don’t have apple cider vinegar (ACV) at home, feel free to replace it with the same amount of lemon or lime juice OR  2 tablespoons of white wine for every tablespoon of ACV.

As for the soy sauce, you can just purchase a bottled one at the grocery and use up what’s left for this Orange Chicken, Shrimp Stir Fry, Pepper Steak or this Lomo Saltado. Promise, you’ll be amazed at what you can do with this Asian staple soy sauce!

How Long to Marinate Salmon?

For an exceptional result, you need to marinate the salmon fillets in this made-from-scratch teriyaki sauce (which is great for stir fry, by the way) for 20-30 minutes in a large Tupperware, bowl or resealable bag. But if you’re kinda pressed for time, 15 minutes would do. Anyway, this baked teriyaki salmon is also served with the same teriyaki glaze. So that’d compensate for the lack thereof.

Can You Pan Sear Teriyaki Salmon?

This Teriyaki Salmon recipe is a fantastic baked fish dinner. But if you feel like not turning on the oven for some reason, don’t worry, you can just sear the salmon on your stovetop.

After marinating the salmon, heat oil in a large skillet and cook the fillets 3-4 minutes on each side or until desired doneness (depending on the thickness of your salmon) and set aside. Then heat up the remaining marinade until slightly thickened. Serve it over the pan-seared salmon.

Storing and Reheating Instructions

For those into meal prepping, this recipe is just perfect for it. Keep it in resealable containers along with rice, steamed veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus or zucchini) and teriyaki sauce in separate small containers for each meal. And refrigerate for up to 1 week. To reheat, simply remove the container lid and microwave for 2-4 minutes or until heated through. Easy meal-prep dinner in minutes!

What to Serve with Teriyaki Salmon

I love teriyaki! And this teriyaki glazed salmon is definitely one for the books. I usually pair this sweet, tangy and slightly salty fish with some steamed veggies, like broccoli and greens, on the side. Or choose any of the following below:

  • warm white or brown rice
  • cauliflower rice for a low-carb option
  • Rice Pilaf
  • Chow Mein

How To Make Teriyaki Salmon

 

Salmon Fillets

Preheat oven to 400 °F. Grease a large baking pan (9×13), cast iron or baking sheet. If using a baking sheet, cover with foil and then grease for easier clean-up. Season salmon fillets with pepper. Set aside.

Teriyaki Sauce

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, water, and cornstarch.

Teriyaki Salmon

Place salmon fillets into a  large Tupperware, bowl or resealable bag along with the marinade for 20- 30 minutes in the fridge.

Teriyaki Salmon

After marinating is complete, remove from the fridge and place salmon fillets in a baking dish. Bake for 12-15  minutes or until flaky once poked with a fork. Bake times may vary depending on the thickness of salmon fillets.

Teriyaki Sauce

While salmon is baking, transfer the leftover marinade to a small saucepan. Place on medium heat, bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened (about 3-4 minutes )  remove from heat and set aside.

Teriyaki Salmon

Take salmon out and when fish is cooked to your liking, plate and pour teriyaki sauce on top or serve with extra sauce. Top with green onions and serve with rice and broccoli.

    I needed to send you a very small remark just to give many thanks the moment again on the magnificent tricks you have contributed on this site. It is quite wonderfully open-handed with people like you to offer unhampered just what a few people might have marketed as an electronic book to get some dough for their own end, and in particular seeing that you could have done it if you ever decided. Those guidelines likewise served as a easy way to fully grasp that the rest have similar eagerness really like my very own to figure out significantly more in terms of this problem. I believe there are several more pleasurable instances ahead for people who look over your site.

    I tell you what really compliments Teriyaki salmon or tuna more than anything is Wasabi mashed potato.Best to use the tube wasabi and keep adding the wasabi to a well buttered chunky mash until its at your taste level. I think its a match made in Heaven.Add steamed broccoli and asparagus.
