Ingredients
  

  • 4 6 oz. Salmon Filets Fresh salmon filets ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch Used to thicken the sauce for a glossy finish.
  • 4 tsp Water Helps dissolve the cornstarch before adding it to the sauce.
  • 2/3 cup Orange Juice Freshly squeezed juice adds brightness and sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Orange Zest Enhances the citrus flavor in the dish.
  • 1/3 cup Soy Sauce Provides a savory umami depth to the glaze.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Balances the saltiness with a hint of caramel sweetness.
  • 1 tsp Ginger (minced) Adds warmth and spice that complements the salmon beautifully.
  • 2 cloves Garlic (minced) Infuses strong aromatic notes into the glaze.
  • 1/2 tsp Sesame Oil Offers a nutty flavor that rounds out the sauce profile.
  • Sesame Seeds For garnish, giving an extra texture and visual appeal.
  • Red Pepper Flakes Adds a little heat if desired, enhancing flavor complexity.
  • Chopped Green Onions Freshness that brightens up each bite.

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Glaze: Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until smooth. Add this mixture along with all other sauce ingredients into a small saucepan, stirring well to combine. Heat over low until it simmers gently, stirring occasionally until slightly thickened, approximately 3-5 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool in a bowl.
  2. Preheat Your Oven: While your sauce cools, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
  3. Prepare Your Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with lightly oiled foil to prevent sticking. Place salmon filets on this prepared sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking.
  4. Baste the Salmon: Generously baste each salmon filet with your prepared orange teriyaki glaze, reserving about half of it for later use in finishing touches.
  5. Bake and Broil: Place your baking sheet in the oven and bake for approximately 14 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. After baking, remove from oven and baste again with more glaze before placing under the broiler for about one minute.
  6. Serve It Up: Serve your Orange Teriyaki Salmon over steamed rice or alongside your favorite vegetables. Finish off with additional garnishes like sesame seeds, chopped green onions, or red pepper flakes if desired.
