Ingredients

• 4 pieces Salmon fillets (skin-on)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.25 cup Mirin
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
• 2 tablespoons Orange marmalade
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Scallions (sliced, optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the teriyaki marinade.

Step 2

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the salmon, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Step 3

While the salmon marinates, make the marmalade butter. In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the orange marmalade until well combined. Cover the mixture and refrigerate until ready to use.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade and pat them dry with a paper towel. Reserve the marinade for basting.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets, skin side up, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet, skin side down.

Step 7

Brush the reserved marinade over the salmon fillets, then season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper.

Step 8

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork but is still moist in the center.

Step 9

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes. Top each fillet with a dollop of the marmalade butter, allowing it to melt slightly over the hot salmon.

Step 10

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, if desired. Serve immediately with steamed rice or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
