    Need a quick, healthy weeknight meal?  This easy Baked Teriyaki Salmon is a must for your weeknight rotation.  The glaze is sticky sweet and a perfect topper to this mild roasted salmon. {gluten-free}

    Hey, guys!  I hope you had a great weekend.  We are getting into the Halloween spirit here in the Kelly house.  The kids wouldn't have it any other way.

    My daughter spent hours decorating her room with hanging bats and spiders and has Halloween lights everywhere.  She and her girlfriends are all going as social media for Halloween. She has a Snapchat t-shirt and a yellow tutu. How cute is that?

    My son headed out to Markoff's Haunted Forest on Saturday night. They waited in line two hours to go to this creepy haunted Halloween trail. There was no way I was going!  It was full of zombies, chainsaw carrying creeps and a chapel full of the dead. Um, no thanks.

    Baked teriyaki salmon recipe with glaze

    Remember when I said I was going to bring you a lot of quick, easy dinners?  Well, I am true to my word!  

    I've made a Sheet Pan Chicken Stir Fry, Sheet Pan Sausage and Acorn Squash and Slow Cooker Mexican Chicken Soup.  I didn't lie.  I know what you need and I'm sharing all my favorite quick recipes with you.  Don't worry I will sprinkle in some holiday goodies too like this

    baked teriyaki salmon recipe and marinade in bowl on the side

    Today I bring you another quick, favorite dinner:  Salmon Teriyaki made in the oven.  The sauce is salty sweet and the salmon is light and flaky.  Teriyaki sauce is a cinch to prepare and the salmon cooks quickly in the oven.  You do have to dirty two pans, sorry! The sauce has to be simmered on the stove to thicken it.

    Teriyaki sauce is a must have recipe for any quick prep kitchen.  Using pantry staples to create this sauce means you can whip it up any night of the week.  

    You can use this on chicken, fish (try halibut) or pork.  It's almost impossible to screw it up and you can adjust it to your taste. Teriyaki sauce is inherently sweet but if you prefer it less so, just use less brown sugar or sweeten it with honey.  

    Using tamari assures that it is gluten free.

    This Baked Teriyaki Salmon is...

    • quick
    • sweet
    • tender
    • easy to prepare
    • gluten free
    • kid-friendly

    Course: Dinner
    Cuisine: American
    Diet: Gluten Free
    Keyword: baked teriyaki salmon
    Servings: 3
    Calories: 74kcal

    Ingredients

    • 4 pieces of salmon
    • ¼ cup tamari or soy if not gluten free
    • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
    • 2 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
    • 3 garlic cloves chopped
    • 1 tablespoon corn starch

    Instructions

    • Whisk all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
    • Place salmon in a bowl and pour marinade over. Marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes.
    • Preheat oven to 400 degrees and spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
    • Place salmon on pan and cook for 14-18 minutes or until salmon flakes easily. (It helps to have equal sized salmon pieces.)
    • Put all the marinade in a small pot and bring to a full boil. You must bring it to a boil before eating it since it was used on raw salmon.
    • Turn to a simmer and cook until thickened.
    • Brush on cooked salmon and serve.

    Notes

    Notes: If you want this to be gluten free, you must use tamari.  I went ahead and added the corn starch to the marinade right away. It's a shortcut and it works.  I know corn starch is not regularly put in marinades but it helps the sauce thicken when you boil it on the stove.

      My whole family loved this (well 5 out of 6)! Thanks for the recipe. The cornstarch in the marinade is a cool trick and the texture of the glaze as it came out of the oven was perfect. I sautéed up some veggies leftover from a veggie party platter from the weekend and served with roasted potatoes. Yum! Thanks!

      Oh cute! Social media! What a neat idea! And a Halloween trail for your son? I wouldn't be going either! That would totally freak me out, right along with those haunted houses they do for Halloween. That's ok, I'll stay outside 😉 No, wait, I'll stay inside and eat this teriyaki salmon! Love salmon and especially quick and easy recipes like this which are perfect for weeknight dinners. Yum! Pinned 🙂 Have a lovely week!

      I thought the FODMAP DIET did not include garlic?

        Hi Melanie, I am not that familiar with the fodmap diet and it's not labeled FODMAP friendly.

      Hi Karen, Thank you for the recipe; I'm trying it tomorrow. I wanted to make it with chicken for my daughter, but wasn't sure how long to bake it.

        Hi Althea, I haven't tried this with chicken. If you are using boneless chicken breasts, I would think around 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees. Or you could saute the chicken breasts in a skillet then top it with the teriyaki sauce. Hope that helps.

      This recipe really works! The addition of the cornstarch in the marinade is a great idea. The resulting sauce is nice and glossy .
      I added a little freshly grated ginger in the marinade. I served it on basmati rice and topped with sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
