Substitutions and Variations

You can use either make your own teriyaki sauce or grab a store-bought sauce. My stir fry sauce works just perfectly in this recipe.

While this recipe is specifically for salmon filets, you can use it for any kind of fish that you want.

I just use salt and pepper as the seasoning for this baked teriyaki salmon, but you can season it any way you want. A bit of garlic powder and onion powder would be tasty, as well as some fresh herbs.

How to Make Quick Teriyaki Glazed Salmon

Make this yummy salmon any night of the week! Here's the step by step instruction on what to do:

Preheat your oven 400°F (204°C) and then spray a 9x13 baking dish with non stick cooking spray.

Place the fresh salmon into the prepared dish and season generously with salt and black pepper.

Mix together the cornstarch, coconut aminos and sesame oil in a small bowl, then spread the teriyaki sauce evenly over the salmon so that it is covered well.

Bake the fish for 20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Remove the dish and cover it with foil.

Then let the salmon rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Serve hot and with your favorite side dish!

What to Serve with Teriyaki Glazed Salmon

Steamed broccoli and rice are two of our favorite sides to serve with this salmon. You could use brown rice or cauliflower rice too. I also like serving this dish with other veggies like roasted tomatoes or garlic green beans.

Cheesy garlic bread and easy drop biscuits are also super tasty alongside teriyaki glazed salmon! If you want to stick with the Asian flavor profile, then serve this with some stir fry noodles.

How to Store Leftover Salmon

Place leftover teriyaki salmon into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can also freeze leftovers in a freezer bag or airtight container for up to 3 months as well.

To reheat, place in the oven until warmed to a safe internal temperature.

Tips for Success

This salmon teriyaki recipe is really simple, but here's a few tips to make it extra perfect:

• When you are coating the salmon with teriyaki sauce, make sure to cover the sides of the salmon as well. This will help to ensure every inch of the fish gets plenty of flavor.
• Don't skip covering the dish with aluminum foil! It's key to locking in moisture and getting a really flaky salmon.
• I recommend adding sesame seeds to the finished product as a garnish. It ads a little texture and a slightly nutty flavor that pair well with the sauce and the fish.
