What You’ll Need
This easy teriyaki salmon recipe combines tender salmon fillets with a homemade maple-infused teriyaki marinade. With just a few simple steps, you’ll create a tasty dinner that’s bursting with irresistible flavors. I’ve included some notes on substitutions in the list below, but for the full recipe, please scroll down to the recipe card.
- Maple Syrup: Adds sweetness to the salmon teriyaki marinade. Honey or brown sugar can be used as substitutes.
- Apple Juice: Pineapple juice or orange juice can work as alternatives to balance the savory flavors.
- Minced Garlic: You could use garlic powder, but I suggest fresh garlic for a punch of flavor.
- Soy Sauce: I use a low sodium soy sauce, but liquid aminos will also work here.
- Light Brown Sugar: Enhances the sweetness and caramelization of the salmon.
- Fresh Minced Ginger: Adds a zesty and aromatic kick to the marinade.
- Salmon: I use fresh salmon fillets, but frozen works too—just thaw them first. If you prefer, you can swap for trout or another firm fish like trout, cod, halibut, or sea bass.
- Chopped Zucchini: I like to include fresh and tender vegetables in the dish. Yellow squash is a great alternative.
- Sliced Mushrooms: You can use white button, cremini, or shiitake mushrooms.
- Sliced Bell Pepper: Provides color, crunch, and a hint of sweetness to the vegetable mix. Use any color you like, or swap for sliced carrots or snap peas.
- Olive Oil: Avocado oil or extra virgin oli oil can be used instead.
- Salt & Pepper: Kosher salt provides better control over seasoning, and freshly ground black pepper adds a more robust kick. Adjust to taste!
What is Teriyaki Sauce?
Teriyaki sauce is a classic marinade in Asian cuisine, with many variations, but the key ingredients are soy sauce, sugar, and ginger. My version—just like the one I use for chicken teriyaki and teriyaki noodles—is super easy to make with maple syrup, minced garlic, and apple juice. Not only does this marinade pack your salmon with bold flavor, but it also keeps it extra tender and flaky.
How To Make Teriyaki Salmon
With a simple homemade marinade, you’ll have tender, flavorful salmon teriyaki with perfectly roasted veggies—all in one pan. Just marinate and bake for a restaurant-quality meal right from your kitchen!
- Prepare The Marinade: Mix maple syrup, apple juice, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger in a ziplock bag. Set aside 1/3 cup of the marinade for later use.
- Marinate Salmon: Add salmon fillets to the ziplock bag, seal, and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours.
- Preheat Oven: Heat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet.
- Arrange Salmon: Place salmon on the baking sheet, discarding the marinade.
- Prep Veggies: Spread veggies on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Bake: Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, brushing the salmon and veggies halfway through with the reserved marinade.
- Rest & Serve: Pull it out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Line the Baking Sheet: Don’t forget to line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Since you’re brushing the salmon and veggies with the marinade halfway through the baking process, this will prevent anything from sticking to the pan.
- Use Pure Maple Syrup: Pure Maple Syrup is da bomb, I know, but if you want to cut down on the sugars, reach for sugar-free maple syrup or low-carb/Keto friendly syrup.
- Use Wild Caught Salmon: Wild caught salmon is so much healthier and tastier than farm raised salmon. For a dish that’s higher in minerals and lower in fat, always opt for wild caught salmon.
- Serve with Rice: If you want an additional side dish for your teriyaki salmon and veggies, I recommend serving your salmon over my easy brown rice pilaf or borrowing from my salmon and rice recipe to bake the salmon in foils!
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
- Store your leftovers in a shallow, airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Your leftovers will last for 3 days in the fridge.
- To reheat your salmon and veggies, cook them on a lined baking sheet at 275°F until hot. I suggest wrapping your salmon loosely with aluminum foil when you reheat it to prevent it from drying out.
