Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets (skin-on, if preferred)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons Sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, orange juice, honey, brown sugar, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger to create the orange teriyaki sauce base.

Step 2

In another small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth to create a slurry. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat sesame oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the teriyaki sauce base and bring it to a simmer.

Step 4

Gradually stir in the cornstarch slurry, whisking constantly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

Step 6

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Brush each fillet generously with the prepared orange teriyaki sauce.

Step 7

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fillets are cooked through and flake easily with a fork. If desired, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end to caramelize the glaze further.

Step 8

Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Serve with steamed rice and sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.
