Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish, skin-side down. Pour the marinade over the fillets, coating them thoroughly. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven and bake the salmon for about 15 minutes, or until the fish turns opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Once baked, remove from the oven and let the salmon rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top before serving.
  6. Serve hot alongside steamed rice and vibrant vegetables for a complete meal.
