Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets, skinless
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Instructions:
- Prepare the marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, orange juice, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Marinate the salmon:
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the salmon, making sure the fillets are fully coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours. This allows the flavors to infuse the salmon.
- Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Bake the salmon:
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place the fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour a little of the leftover marinade over the salmon fillets for extra flavor.
- Cook the salmon:
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Finish with garnish:
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a touch of crunch and color.
- Serve:
- Serve the Orange Teriyaki Baked Salmon hot, with your favorite side dishes such as rice, quinoa, steamed vegetables, or a light salad.
