Ingredients
- 4 skinless salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 green onion, sliced thin
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, water, honey, garlic, ginger, chili flakes, lemon juice, and flour in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth.
- Place the salmon fillets in the prepared dish, spacing them evenly. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the top, covering each fillet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F.
- Spoon some of the thickened sauce from the baking dish over the salmon before you serve it.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately with rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables.
Notes
- Use cornstarch instead of flour for a gluten-free thickening agent if needed.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in half the sauce mixture for 15 minutes before baking.
