Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 (6 oz.) Salmon Filets

Orange Teriyaki Sauce

  • 2 teaspoons Cornstarch
  • 4 teaspoons 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 (optional)

  • Sesame Seeds
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Chopped Green Onions

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Add the slurry along with orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil to a small saucepan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer over medium heat and cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens. Remove from heat and transfer to a bowl to cool.
  2. Preheat the Oven: While the sauce cools, preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
  3. Prepare the Salmon: Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly oil it to prevent sticking. Place the salmon filets on the sheet and generously baste them with half of the orange teriyaki sauce, reserving the other half for later.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for about 14 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
  5. Broil for a Finish: Remove the salmon from the oven and baste it again with the remaining sauce. Place the salmon under the broiler for about 1 minute or until the top gets a golden, lightly charred glaze. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  6. Serve: Serve the salmon over steamed rice and garnish with optional sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and chopped green onions. Enjoy your flavorful orange teriyaki salmon!

Notes

  • Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • If you don’t have fresh garlic, substitute with 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  • If you don’t have fresh ginger, substitute with ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
