Perfectly tender and flaky salmon in a tasty homemade teriyaki sauce. If you are looking for an easy, quick, and healthy dinner option, then this baked teriyaki salmon is what you are looking for! Easily throw this together anytime using a few simple ingredients and in under twenty-five minutes. Serve this with rice or quinoa, roasted veggies, and even over salads for a filling meal excellent for lunch or dinner.
Prepping for dinner is fun, but if you are a full-time working mom like myself, I am sure you’ll look for the easiest and quickest recipes. You can either cook the teriyaki salmon on the stovetop or bake it. I prefer baking rather than grilling or roasting as it rid the risk of burning or overcooking the fish. I immediately add the sauce before baking the salmon, but you can add the sauce once the salmon is half-baked.
