I typically try to make salmon a couple of times a week because it’s loaded with healthy fats and protein. During pregnancy I actually craved salmon (well, after that first trimester sickness was over – eek!) and made it the same way every time several times a week – baked salmon with seasoning, a side of veggies, and maybe some rice. Can we all say BURNOUT MUCH? Yeahhh…since having our baby, I can never have salmon that way again. Haha!
Fast forward to today, our little guy is 6 months old and I’m just now getting back into eating salmon! I made these spicy salmon tacos a few weeks ago and it made the world right for me again. Next up? Finding all of the creative and delicious ways to make salmon! Like this DELISH easy baked teriyaki salmon recipe!
How to make baked teriyaki salmon
Making baked teriyaki salmon is easy! Simply place the salmon filet in foil (skin side down). Mix teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and soy sauce together along with a little bit of ground ginger. Coat the salmon evenly with the sauce and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until flaky!
