Preparing the Salmon
Start this teriyaki salmon recipe off by preparing the salmon fillet. You can prepare the salmon with or without skin. Use a long, sharp knife to remove the skin, if desired. Check out this salmon prep video for more instructions! If you are leaving the skin on, make sure to clean the scales off the skin and rinse well after cleaning. Use kitchen tweezers to remove any bones from the flesh. Portion the fillet into serving size pieces, about 1 1/2 to 2-inch in width. If your salmon fillet is extra thick, you can cut the portions smaller.
Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
This delicious homemade teriyaki sauce is simply the best! I use it for so many of my other recipes, like these ‘Ginger Garlic Lamb Chops’ and my ‘Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry’! To make the sauce, simply combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan: soy sauce, sugar, water, ginger, garlic, sesame seed oil and vinegar! Bring the sauce to low simmer and let it simmer away while you are preparing and cooking the salmon. Pour the sauce over the salmon right before finishing it off in the oven. Pour extra sauce over the salmon when serving for even more flavor!
