HOW TO MAKE TERIYAKI SALMON?

Teriyaki salmon is definitely one of the easiest dinners you can make at home. Salmon bakes really quickly, it takes only 18 to 20 minutes to cook in the oven, depending on the thickness of your fillets. To easily add flavor, pour teriyaki sauce over salmon after seasoning with salt and pepper. Add broccoli on the side and bake! Serve with rice and a garnish of green onions.

HOW TO COOK SALMON IN THE OVEN?

To cook salmon in the oven, place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Next, pour at least two tablespoons of teriyaki sauce over each salmon piece. Bake in the oven for 18 to 20 minutes or until the salmon if flaky and cooked through. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. I like to add broccoli to the baking sheet along side salmon and let it roast in the same time. You can use asparagus or cauliflower too.
