Honey Teriyaki Salmon Ingredients

You can’t get any easier than this for a tasty classic – the recipe uses only 5 ingredients. The honey teriyaki sauce contains 4 ingredients, and can be used on other proteins as well, such as chicken, shrimp and tofu.

• Salmon fillet
• Ginger
• Garlic
• Honey
• Soy sauce: use tamari soy sauce for gluten-free

Recipe Tips

• If your salmon comes with skin, remove the scales so that you can eat the skin too. Salmon skin is full of healthy fat and gelatine.
• Pat the fish dry with a paper towel on both sides, so that the moisture will not dilute the sauce.
• I like to use a lemon zester to finely mince the ginger and garlic. 
• If you have the time, you can marinate the salmon in the honey teriyaki sauce ahead of cooking time, though you don’t have to for a quick meal. 
• Use a baking dish just big enough for the fish, to prevent the sauce from spreading and drying out in the oven. 
• Baking time may vary slightly depending on the thickness of the fish. Be very careful not to over-cook the salmon. 

Serving Suggestions

Serve the salmon hot over rice for a quick meal. I paired it with Korean cucumber salad as you can see in the photos. You can also pair it with cucumber wakame salad for additional nutrition.
