Print Recipe

A quick and easy honey glazed teriyaki salmon foil bake that delivers tender, juicy salmon with a sticky-sweet finish. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual get-togethers with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed frozen
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or local)
  • 4 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (optional)
  • Lemon or lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger (if using), soy sauce, and sesame oil until well combined.
  3. Cut four sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, roughly 12 by 12 inches each.
  4. Place each salmon fillet in the center of a foil sheet, skin-side down if it has skin.
  5. Brush or spoon the honey teriyaki glaze generously over each fillet, coating the top and sides.
  6. Seal each foil packet by folding the edges up and crimping tightly to lock in steam and flavor.
  7. Arrange the foil packets on a baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, depending on thickness. For 1-inch thick fillets, 15 minutes is usually sufficient.
  9. Carefully open one packet to check doneness; salmon should flake easily with a fork and be opaque pink inside. If underdone, reseal and bake a few more minutes.
  10. Once done, open the packets, garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds, and serve with lemon or lime wedges.

Notes

Use fresh garlic and ginger for best flavor. Do not overbake to keep salmon tender and juicy. Heavy-duty foil prevents tearing and keeps juices sealed. For extra caramelization, open foil packets during last 2-3 minutes and broil briefly, watching closely to avoid burning. Marinate salmon in glaze for 15-30 minutes for more intense flavor but avoid too long to prevent ‘cooking’ the fish with soy sauce. Can add thinly sliced vegetables inside foil packets for a one-pan meal. Substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free or soy-free options. Maple syrup can replace honey but will alter flavor slightly.
