Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 0.5 cup orange juice
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
• 2 stalks green onions

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine orange juice, lemon juice, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients well to ensure the honey dissolves completely.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin side down. Brush the citrus-teriyaki mixture generously over each fillet, reserving some for later use.

Step 4

Drizzle olive oil over the fillets and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 5

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 6

While the salmon is baking, pour the remaining citrus-teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Gradually stir the slurry into the simmering sauce to thicken it. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, then remove the sauce from heat.

Step 8

Once the salmon is done baking, remove it from the oven. Drizzle the thickened sauce over the cooked fillets.

Step 9

Garnish the salmon with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy!
