Ingredients
1/4cuplight brown sugar
1/4cupsoy sauce
2tbsp.rice wine vinegar
2garlic clovesminced
¼teaspoonground black pepper
1tsp.cornstarch
4(5 oz.)salmon fillets
Optional: sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Add the brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, pepper, and cornstarch to a medium mixing bowl. Whisk until well combined.
Place the salmon in a sealable food storage bag. Add half of the teriyaki sauce (just over 1/4 cup) to the salmon. Set the remaining teriyaki sauce aside. Move the fish around in the bag to ensure that it is well coated in sauce. Seal the bag and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
Place the salmon in the baking dish skin side down, if applicable (discard the used marinade). Cook for 13-15 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon filets.
As the salmon cooks, make the glaze. Pour the reserved teriyaki sauce into a small sauce pot. Bring the liquid to a boil then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until it is slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from the heat.
Brush the cooked salmon with the teriyaki glaze. Optional: sprinkle with sesame seeds.
