Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 1/2 lbs salmon filet, sliced into 2″ wide slices

Teriyaki Sauce Marinade

  • 3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 3 Tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp white vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large or 3 medium garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tsp freshly grated ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)

Garnish (optional)

  • Sesame seeds
  • Chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Prep the Baking Sheet: Grease a large rimmed baking sheet, cover it with foil for easier cleanup, and grease the foil. Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C).
  2. Make the Sauce: In a bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, white vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well until the brown sugar dissolves completely.
  3. Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon slices in a mixing bowl and pour the prepared sauce over them. Cover with plastic wrap and let them marinate for 20 minutes, either at room temperature or refrigerated for convenience and flavor absorption.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Transfer the marinated salmon slices to the prepared baking sheet, reserving the remaining marinade. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-16 minutes, or until the salmon is flaky and cooked through. Baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the salmon slices.
  5. Prepare Teriyaki Syrup: While the salmon bakes, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat once thickened.
  6. Finish and Serve: When the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and brush each piece generously with the thickened teriyaki syrup. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions as desired. Serve immediately for a delicious, savory meal.

Notes

  • Marinating the salmon improves flavor but avoid marinating longer than 30 minutes to prevent the fish from becoming mushy.
  • If you prefer less sweetness, reduce the brown sugar slightly.
  • Use fresh ginger for optimal flavor, but ground ginger works as a quick substitute.
  • Serving suggestion: pair with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
