    Total Time: 20 minutes
    Servings: 4

    Ingredients

    • 4 salmon filets

    Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

    • 1 tbsp oil
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1/2 tsp ginger, minced
    • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 1/8 cup light brown sugar
    • 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
    • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil
    • 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
    • 1/2 tbsp water

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
      Place salmon on to prepared baking sheet and brush with homemade teriyaki sauce.
    • Place in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 140 degrees.
      Serve immediately with sesame seeds.

    Homemade Teriyaki Sauce

    • Add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and whisk until smooth and lump free.
      Add oil to a medium saucepan and heat over medium high heat. 
      Add in garlic and ginger and cook for two minutes stirring frequently.
    • Stir in soy sauce, water, brown sugar, vinegar and sesame oil. Bring to a simmer and add in slurry (cornstarch water mixture.)
    • Simmer whisking constantly until thickened 1-2 minutes. Keep an eye on the sauce because it can burn. The sauce is thick enough when it can coat the back of a spoon. Also it will continue to thicken as it cools.
      Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
