Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on, if preferred)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the orange teriyaki sauce base.
In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.
Heat sesame oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the teriyaki sauce base and bring it to a simmer.
Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Brush each fillet generously with the prepared orange teriyaki sauce.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end to caramelize the glaze further.
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Serve with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
