Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down.

Step 3

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.

Step 5

Slowly add the cornstarch slurry to the saucepan, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sesame oil.

Step 7

Brush the thickened teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon fillets.

Step 8

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.

Step 10

Serve the salmon teriyaki hot with a side of steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
