Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Teriyaki Salmon
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a large rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, greased lightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, white vinegar, sesame oil, light brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  3. Place the salmon filets in a shallow bowl and pour the marinade over, ensuring an even coating. Marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Transfer the salmon to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down, and bake for 12-16 minutes or until it flakes easily.
  5. Take the remaining marinade, bring it to a boil in a saucepan, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens for glazing the salmon.
  6. Once the salmon is baked, brush the thickened marinade on top, and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot.
