I’m not an expert in many things, but I have perfected my craft in one area. I can make a mean Teriyaki Salmon with a side of shrimp fried rice. Fastest way to anyone’s heart is a good piece of salmon, that’s for sure. I decided to be nice and give you a rough idea of how to make it yourself. Maybe one day you too can become a decorated Salmon Master like me.
The stuff for the salmon (don’t skip anything, you can find everything, I believe in you!!):
3-5 cut fillets of salmon (skin on or off, your choice)
3-4 cloves of fresh garlic (minced or grated)
2 tsp of fresh ginger (grated)
3 Tbsp teriyaki sauce
3 Tbsp soy sauce
3 Tbsp Hoisin sauce
1 Tbsp white vinegar
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Chopped green onions (also for garnish)
The prep:
- Cover a baking pan with foil and then grease. Set oven to 400 degrees F.
- Combine sauce ingredients.
- Pour marinate over salmon (easier to use a ziplock bag), and let marinate for 20-45 minutes in the fridge.
- Put salmon on baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 14-17 minutes depending on the size of your salmon pieces.
- Simmer remaining marinade on pot.
- When salmon comes out the oven, pour sauce over fillets.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
- Serve with side of rice of your choice.
It’s that easy and you get flaky, delicious salmon every time. You’re welcome.

I love this; it looks so good!! Food to me is a great unifier; it can be a cultural lesson, family space and time, or a way to express love and care. Having a go-to recipe gives me a sense of self-sufficiency: knowing that I can take care of myself is important to me, and being able to make food for myself is a big part of that. What does food provide for you?
