Instructions

  1. 01

    Arrange an oven rack to be 4 to 6 inches from the broiler element. When ready to cook, preheat broiler to highest setting.

  2. 02

    Use a clean tea towel or paper towel to pat salmon fillets dry. Lightly coat fish with olive oil, then arrange skin side down on a baking sheet lined with foil. Season fish with salt and pepper, then brush each with 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to an hour, refrigerated.

  3. 03

    To cook, broil for 4 to 6 minutes depending on thickness of fillet. Salmon is medium-rare when thickest part of fillet registers at 120F on an instant-read thermometer. Add a minute or two of cook time as desired.

  4. 04

    Transfer salmon to serving plate and sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with a side of steamed rice, over noodles, or on a bed of sautéed vegetables.

Variations & swaps

Substitutions

  • Use tamari or coconut aminos in your teriyaki sauce instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Don't stop at salmon! Wild Alaska Pollock and other kinds of fish are delicious with the teriyaki treatment.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you watch your salt intake.
  • You can use powdered garlic and ginger rather than fresh if you opt to make a teriyaki sauce with those aromatics.
