Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.5 cup tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons scallions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.
In a small saucepan, combine tamari, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic. Heat over medium heat until just bubbling.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry.
Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.
Brush the thickened teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Garnish the salmon with chopped scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
Serve the salmon teriyaki hot with a side of steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
