For the Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Soy Sauce Essential for umami flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C) to ensure quick cooking and caramelization.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Whisk over medium-high heat until smooth and bring to a boil. Cook for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Line a baking dish with parchment paper, extending it slightly over the edges to catch drips.
  4. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and place them skin-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Generously apply the teriyaki sauce over the top of each salmon fillet.
  6. Bake the salmon for 7-10 minutes, checking for flakiness and bubbling sauce.
  7. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
