Baked Honey Teriyaki Salmon (No Marinating)

Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, and garlic reduce into a glossy teriyaki glaze while the oven heats. It's a weeknight salmon dinner I can make from memory, and it's on the table in about 25 minutes.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 inch piece of ginger, finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic, very finely minced
  • 4 6-ounce salmon fillets
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions, to serve

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. In a small pot over medium-high heat, add the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and water and bring it to a boil. Let the sauce boil until it reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
