Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz/170g each)
- ½ cup (120ml) teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar (optional, for extra sweetness)
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil

- Prepare the teriyaki sauce by combining teriyaki sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
- Marinate the salmon fillets by placing them skin-side down on a baking sheet and brushing the teriyaki glaze over them. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
