Ingredients

For the Salmon

• 2 1/2 lbs salmon fillet, preferably wild, cut into 2-inch portions

For the Teriyaki sauce

• 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce, or Tamari for gluten-free version
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/3 cup light brown sugar, well packed
• 2 to 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 2 teaspoons fresh grated ginger (or 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)

For garnish (optional)

• Sesame seeds
• Chopped green onion

If you don't have hoisin sauce, you can substitute it with an extra mixture of soy sauce with a small amount of honey or sugar; this will provide similar sweetness and texture.

Utensils we will use

• Baking sheet with rim
• Aluminum foil to cover the tray and facilitate cleaning
• Large bowl for marinating
• Knife and cutting board
• Non-stick pan (alternative for searing the salmon)
• Small saucepan to reduce the sauce
• Spoon or spatula for stirring

Preparation

1. Salmon preparation and marinade

1. Wash and cut the salmon. Rinse the fillet under cold water and pat it dry with paper towels. Cut into strips about 2 inches wide, ensuring uniform sizes for even cooking.
2. Prepare the teriyaki sauce. In a bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, hoisin, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. Marinate the salmon. Place the salmon portions in the bowl with the sauce, cover with plastic wrap, and let marinate for at least 20 minutes in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

2. Salmon cooking

1. Prepare the baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it to prevent the salmon from sticking.
2. Bake the salmon. Place the salmon on the baking sheet uncovered and bake for 12-16 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily when poked with a fork. Time may vary depending on thickness.
3. Reduce the rest of the marinade. While the salmon bakes, transfer the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Glaze and garnish. When the salmon is ready, brush with the reduced teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onion if you wish to add texture and color.

To finish and serve

Carefully remove the aluminum foil sheets if you used them for the baking sheet. Serve the teriyaki salmon immediately, accompanied by white or black rice and some steamed vegetables to complete a balanced dish. This technique ensures that the salmon preserves its juiciness and has a shiny and appetizing glaze.
