Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 batch teriyaki sauce (approximately 1/2 cup; see note for homemade preparation)
Sides
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 2 cups cooked broccoli
- 1/3 cup diced scallion
Instructions
- Prepare the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the salmon without overcooking.
- Prepare the salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet or in a baking dish. Pat dry to remove excess moisture.
- Apply teriyaki sauce: Brush each salmon fillet generously with the prepared teriyaki sauce to infuse flavor throughout the cooking process.
- Bake the salmon: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through but still moist. Avoid overbaking to keep it tender.
- Prepare the sides: While the salmon is baking, warm the cooked rice and steamed broccoli. You can steam the broccoli until tender but still crisp.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the oven, sprinkle the diced scallions over the top for a fresh bite, and serve immediately alongside the warm rice and broccoli.
Notes
- You can make your own teriyaki sauce using soy sauce, mirin, sugar, garlic, and ginger for an authentic taste.
- For an easier meal prep, use leftover cooked rice and steamed vegetables.
- Keep an eye on the salmon during baking to avoid drying it out.
- Substitute broccoli with your favorite vegetable if preferred.
