Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Place the salmon fillet skin-side down on the lined baking sheet.
  3. In a small saucepan, whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, water, minced garlic, and pepper over medium-high heat until a gentle simmer occurs (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix cornstarch with cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then pour it into the saucepan, whisking until the glaze thickens (about 30 seconds).
  5. Brush or spoon the teriyaki glaze over the salmon fillet.

  7. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon.
