Cuisine: Seafood
Serves: 6-8
Ingredients
- 6-8 (4 ounce) pieces of salmon, or a large salmon filet
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ cup Italian salad dressing
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice
- 1-2 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Make teriyaki sauce by bringing the sugar, Italian salad dressing, and soy sauce to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat slightly and let boil for five to six minutes or until it begins to thicken. Set aside.
- Sprinkle the bottom of a 9x13 glass baking dish with lemon juice, olive oil, and salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon pieces in the prepared 9x13 pan and set aside. (If you prefer, you can use a whole large filet and prepare it on a cookie sheet.)
- Use a spoon or a basting brush to coat the salmon with about half of the teriyaki sauce.
- Bake in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, remove salmon and spoon or baste the remaining teriyaki sauce onto the fish. Return to oven and cook for 10-12 more minutes.
- Serve with Coconut Rice. The salmon and teriyaki sauce combines to make a sauce you can drizzle over the rice if desired.
- Enjoy!
