Ingredients
Teriyaki Marinade and Sauce
1 tablespoon sake
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons water
½ tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Baked Salmon
1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 3-44 pieces
Black sesame seeds
For serving
Cooked rice
Steamed or boiled broccoli or other vegetables
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside for now.
In a small bowl, whisk together sake, mirin, granulated sugar, soy sauce, water, sesame oil, and minced garlic until combined.
Place the salmon in a Ziploc bag. Add the teriyaki sauce into the bag and shake the bag to coat the salmon with the sauce. Allow the salmon to marinade for at least 15 minutes.
When the salmon is ready, reserve the marinade and place the salmon on the baking sheet. Sprinkle black sesame seeds over the top of the salmon, and then bake for about 10 minutes. Salmon should be baked for 10 minutes for every inch of thickness.
In a small pot, cook the marinade over low to medium heat until it comes to a simmer. Cook for a few minutes before removing from heat. And allow it to cool and thicken.
Serve the baked salmon teriyaki over rice and broccoli or other vegetables. Drizzle the thickened teriyaki sauce over the salmon and rice to taste.
