Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup honey, ½ cup water, 2 minced garlic cloves, and freshly ground black pepper. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it bubble for about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Gradually add this mixture to the simmering sauce, stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency. Remove from heat.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the sheet and generously brush with the teriyaki sauce, reserving some for later.
  4. Bake your Baked Teriyaki Salmon for 12-20 minutes, checking for doneness at 12 minutes. It’s ready when it flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is caramelized.
  5. Remove salmon from the oven, drizzle the reserved teriyaki sauce over the top, and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
