Ingredients
- 1½ pounds Salmon, patted dry (if using frozen salmon, defrost completely first)
- ½ cup Teriyaki sauce (use your favorite)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon on the baking sheet and lightly score the top with diagonal shallow cuts.
- Brush the salmon generously with teriyaki sauce. Bake for 10–15 minutes, until the salmon is just cooked through to 125-130°F. Remove from the oven and brush with additional teriyaki sauce before serving.
Notes
Line the baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy. Avoid broiling, bottled teriyaki sauce contains sugar and can burn quickly under high heat.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve over rice with teriyaki green beans for a simple dinner.
- Pair with roasted sweet potatoes for an easy sheet-pan-style meal.
- Turn it into a rice bowl with your favorite toppings like cucumbers, avocado, or sesame seeds.
