Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (gluten-free)
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Set aside.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour 3/4 of the teriyaki sauce over them. Reserve the remaining 1/4 of the sauce for later. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased foil layer.
Transfer the marinated salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork but remains moist.
While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved 1/4 teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
Once the salmon is done, transfer it to serving plates and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce on top.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
