Ingredients

Scale

Salmon

  • 4 Skinless Salmon Fillets (about 6 oz each)

Teriyaki Sauce

  • ⅓ Cup Low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ Cup Fresh orange juice
  • 23 tablespoons Water
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 2 Garlic Cloves (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon Minced fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon Chili Flakes (or to taste)
  • ½ Lemon (juiced)
  • ½ tablespoon Gluten-free flour

Garnish

  • 1 Green Onion (sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for perfect baking.
  2. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, fresh orange juice, water, honey, minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, chili flakes, lemon juice, and gluten-free flour until smooth and combined.
  3. Arrange Salmon: Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Place the four skinless salmon fillets in the dish evenly spaced.
  4. Pour Sauce and Bake: Pour the prepared teriyaki sauce evenly over the salmon fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Thicken Sauce and Serve: Once cooked, remove the salmon from the oven and spoon the thickened sauce from the baking dish over the fillets.
  6. Garnish: Sprinkle the salmon with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh, nutty topping. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use skinless salmon fillets for easier serving and a lighter dish.
  • Adjust the chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • To make the sauce thicker, ensure the gluten-free flour is well whisked and allow it to cook briefly in the oven.
  • Serve with steamed rice or vegetables for a complete meal.
  • Make sure to use low-sodium soy sauce to keep the sodium content manageable.
