Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
• 0.25 cup Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (gluten-free)
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 stalks Green onions (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour 3/4 of the teriyaki sauce over them. Reserve the remaining 1/4 of the sauce for later. Let the salmon marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a lightly greased foil layer.

Step 5

Transfer the marinated salmon fillets to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon easily flakes with a fork but remains moist.

Step 6

While the salmon is baking, pour the reserved 1/4 teriyaki sauce into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Step 7

Once the salmon is done, transfer it to serving plates and drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce on top.

Step 8

Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
