Easy Baked Teriyaki Salmon

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 5 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

¾ cup teriyaki sauce (divided)

4 salmon filets (~4 oz. each)

green onions (sliced)

sesame seeds

cilantro (chopped)

Directions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a baking dish with oil. Pat salmon filets dry and place in the baking dish, allowing to come to room temperature while the oven preheats.

Using approximately 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, coat each salmon filet generously. Bake salmon for 12-15 minutes until flaky and cooked through. The recommended internal temperature for salmon is 145°F. I like to remove the salmon from the oven at around 135-138°F as it will continue to rise as it rests.

Remove the filets from the baking dish and brush the remaining teriyaki sauce on top as desired. Add your preferred garnishes and serve with cooked rice and a veggie for a hearty meal.
