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 fridge until ready to use.

This Baked Teriyaki Salmon is flaky, delicious and perfect for busy weeknights or a special occasion! It is based on my most popular and a family favorite: Quick and Easy Teriyaki Chicken. Both are a hit every single time!

Ingredients:

• 12 oz salmon fillets
• salt and pepper
• fresh broccoli
• rice
• green onions
• sesame seeds
• teriyaki sauce

Instructions:

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.

Cooking 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.
