Orange Teriyaki Baked Salmon (Printable Version)

Salmon is baked in a citrus teriyaki glaze, then broiled to golden perfection and topped with sesame and onions.

# What You'll Need:

→ Salmon

01 - 4 salmon fillets (170 g each)

→ Orange Teriyaki Glaze

02 - 2 teaspoons cornstarch
03 - 4 teaspoons water
04 - 160 ml orange juice
05 - 1 teaspoon orange zest
06 - 80 ml soy sauce
07 - 55 g brown sugar
08 - 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
09 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
10 - 0.5 teaspoon sesame oil

→ Garnishes

11 - Sesame seeds (optional)
12 - Red pepper flakes (optional)
13 - Chopped green onions (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Combine cornstarch and water in a small bowl. In a saucepan, add orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and the cornstarch mixture. Bring to a low simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
02 - Set oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with lightly oiled foil.
03 - Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared sheet. Generously baste each fillet with half the teriyaki glaze, reserving the remainder. Bake for 14 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
04 - Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Brush salmon fillets with the reserved glaze. Place under the broiler for 1 minute or until the tops are golden and lightly charred.
05 - Serve the salmon over steamed rice. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped green onions, and red pepper flakes as desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
02 - If fresh garlic is unavailable, substitute with 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
03 - If fresh ginger is unavailable, substitute with 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger.
