This easy baked teriyaki salmon hits all the flavor notes of a classic teriyaki sauce (soy, sake, ginger, and sugar). Best of all, this recipe is INSANELY SIMPLE. Just marinate, bake, garnish, and eat!

Ingredients

All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce

1 tsp. Sesame oil (optional)
2 tsp. Ginger powder
2 tsp. Garlic powder
2 tbsp. Rice vinegar
1/4 cup Fish sauce
1/2 cup Fresh orange juice
1 cup Coconut aminos

2 Scallions, thinly sliced
1 tbsp. Toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup All-purpose stir-fry sauce, divided
4 Salmon fillets

Method

01

Place the salmon fillets in a high-sided dish where they’ll fit snugly. Pour in most of the All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce, but reserve about 2 tablespoons of it.
02

Turn the salmon in the marinade to coat well. Keep the fillets skin-side up in the marinade until you’re ready to cook.
03

Heat the oven to 400°F with the rack in the middle. Place the salmon, skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Pour some of the marinades from the dish onto the salmon.
04

Bake the salmon for 8 to 12 minutes or until it is cooked to your preferred doneness.
05

Once the salmon is finished cooking, brush on the reserved “fresh” All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce (not the stuff the salmon was marinated in) to add a bright kick of flavor. Sprinkle on toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
06

All-Purpose Stir-Fry Sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small jar. Cover it tightly with a lid, and shake well to incorporate before using.
