Orange Teriyaki Salmon
Delicious easy baked salmon in a mouthwatering orange teriyaki glaze finished with fresh chopped green onion and sesame seeds.
Ingredients
- 4 6 oz. Salmon Filets
Orange Teriyaki Sauce:
- 2 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 4 tsp Water
- ⅔ cup Orange Juice
- 1 teaspoon Orange Zest
- ⅓ cup Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ginger minced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon Sesame Oil
Toppings:
- Sesame Seeds optional
- Red Pepper Flakes optional
- Chopped Green Onions optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water. Add all sauce ingredients to a small saucepan including cornstarch mixture. Bring sauce to a low simmer and cook for about 3-5 minutes. When sauce lightly thickens, remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
- While your sauce is cooling, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a baking sheet with a lightly oiled sheet of foil. Place salmon filets on the sheet and baste generously with sauce, reserving about half of the sauce for later use.
- Place salmon in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. When salmon is nice and flakey, it's ready.
- Remove salmon from the oven and baste with sauce again. Place salmon under the broiler for about a minute or until you get a golden lightly charred top.
- Serve salmon over a bed of steamed rice with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, chopped green onion and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
*Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
