Teriyaki Salmon is marinated in a ginger, garlic, honey & brown sugar sauce, then baked for 15-30 minutes in this easy, delicious seafood dinner!
Do you enjoy salmon? My husband and I certainly do… and we really enjoyed our dinner a few nights ago when I made Sweet Ginger Teriyaki Salmon.
I found the recipe on Pinterest, while searching out salmon recipes. I’ve been preparing Pan-Seared Creole Salmon for years and we absolutely LOVE it, but wanted to bust out of my “rut” and try a NEW recipe. Shocking, right?
Anyways, I found this recipe from Monique at Ambitious Kitchen, gave it a try and heartily recommend it. The flavor of the salmon was delicious!
I served the salmon with a side of garlic quinoa, and my Sugar Snap Pea Stir Fry, and I have to be honest, this was an awesome meal. We will definitely be enjoying this dish again!

Sweet Ginger Teriyaki Salmon Is EASY To Prepare!
The teriyaki salmon is so easy to prepare. Salmon is marinated in a wonderful ginger teriyaki sauce, then baked (to perfection), garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds and served.
I made the sauce early in the day and let the salmon marinade in it all day. In the evening, all I had to do was bake the salmon, sprinkle a garnish on it, and serve it!
I hope you will give this dish a try, because you’ll enjoy some amazing tasting salmon! Here’s how it is prepared:
Make The Marinade Sauce
The marinade sauce is easy and quick to make. In a bowl, stir teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, garlic cloves, brown sugar, honey and olive oil until sugar has dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Marinate And Refrigerate The Salmon
Place salmon in a large container (with a lid) or in a large zip-loc style plastic bag. Add the marinade to the container and cover the salmon evenly with it until the salmon is coated on ALL sides.
Cover the container (or seal the bag). Refrigerate the salmon (covered) for at least 1 hour. I usually marinate the salmon all day.
Turn the salmon over several times during refrigeration (if using a container), for best results and flavor.
Bake The Sweet Ginger Teriyaki Salmon
Bake the salmon for 15-20 minutes and then remove the baking dish from the oven. Garnish individual portions with sesame seeds and cilantro leaves and serve it immediately.
The baked Sweet Ginger Teriyaki Salmon tastes delicious! Can you tell how simple this recipe is to make?
I truly hope you and those you love will enjoy this seafood dish, because it’s easy to prepare, and the salmon is incredibly tasty!

Teriyaki Salmon is marinated in a ginger, garlic, honey & brown sugar sauce, then baked for 15-30 minutes in this easy, delicious seafood dinner!
- 1 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 4 cloves garlic , minced
- 3 Tablespoons dark brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 pound boneless , skinless salmon (or 4 salmon "steaks")
- 1 Tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro , chopped
In a bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, garlic cloves, brown sugar, honey and olive oil, until sugar has dissolved and ingredients are well combined.
Put the piece (or pieces) of salmon in a baking dish or a large Ziploc bag. Add the marinade to the container and coat the salmon on both sides. Refrigerate the salmon for at least 1 hour (I marinated mine all day). Turn the salmon over several times during refrigeration (if using a container).
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place into cooking pan. (If you are using salmon with the skin ON, then place in baking pan, skin side down.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Times will vary, due to different thicknesses of salmon. When done, the salmon should flake easily. (Our salmon took 20 minutes to reach that point) Serve, with a side of rice or quinoa, and a great veggie. Enjoy!
