Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, fresh lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to make the teriyaki-lime marinade.
Place the salmon fillets in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the salmon, setting the other half aside. Seal the bag or cover the dish, and marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.
Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Discard the used marinade.
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the marinade and gently simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly (about 2-3 minutes).
Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 2 minutes.
Drizzle the thickened teriyaki-lime sauce over the baked salmon. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as steamed rice or roasted vegetables.
