Teriyaki Salmon

Teriyaki Salmon

Marinade:

  • 1 cup soy sauce (use wheat-free soy or tamari sauce for gluten-free)
  • ½ cup dry sherry
  • ¼ cup toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 4 (6-ounces each) salmon fillets, skin on


Directions


  • 1. Mix the marinade ingredients at least 24 hours before you plan to use it. Refrigerate.
  • 2. Remove the pin bones from the salmon fillets with tweezers or pliers, if desired.
  • 3. Put the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish and pour the marinade over them.
  • I cut the defrosted 15-ounce fillet into two 6-ounce and one 3-ounce fillets.

4. Turn the fillets so they’re skin-side up. Cover, refrigerate and marinate for 4 – 24 hours. (The longer they marinate, the stronger the teriyaki flavor will be. I marinated mine for about 8 hours.)
5. Preheat the oven to 400˚.
6. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place the salmon, skin-side down, on the foil.

Ready to cook

7. Roast for 8 – 10 minutes, until firm to the touch.
