    Why This Recipe Works

    Baked salmon with rice and steamed vegetable is one of the easiest dinners you can make on a busy weeknight. It only requires one sheet pan and if you make the rice ahead, you can save even more time. Use my homemade teriyaki sauce that you can make and keep in the fridge until ready to use. This Baked Teriyaki Salmon is flaky, delicious, and perfect for busy weeknights or a special occasion!

    Ingredients:

    • salmon: I used 12 oz of fillets
    • teriyaki sauce: store-bought or my homemade version
    • fresh broccoli: to roast on the same pan
    • rice: to serve
    • garnish: green onions, sesame seeds

    How to make baked salmon?

    • To cook salmon in the oven, place it on a 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 is flaky and cooked through.
    • Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
    • I like to add broccoli to the baking sheet alongside salmon and let it roast at the same time. You can use asparagus or cauliflower too.

    How long to bake salmon in the oven?

    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.

    Best Tip!

    For the best tasting and juicy salmon, keep the skin on! It helps to keep the moisture in during baking and not let the juices escape. You can always remove the skin right before serving, if you don't like the taste.

    Recipe FAQs:

    How to store cooked salmon?

    Any leftovers or meal prep should be stored in a container with lid, in the fridge, for up to 3 days.

    How to know if my salmon is done cooking?

    When cooking any type of meat, use meat thermometer to check if it's done. It should read 145 degrees F. If you don't have one, cut into the thickest part of the fillet. If it starts to flake, it's done. If your salmon is covered in white substance, it's overcooked. It's called albumin and it's a solidified protein. It doesn't affect the flavor and it's totally fine to eat, just doesn't look appealing.

    What can I make with leftovers?

    Use salmon leftovers to make salmon patties or Greek salmon salad. They are both easy and delicious!
