Ingredients

¼ cup - reduced sodium soy sauce
¼ cup - water
4 tablespoons - pure maple syrup
½ - orange juiced
1 tbsp - rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp - ginger
1 clove - garlic
1 tbsp - cornstarch
4 - salmon filets
a pinch of salt
¼ tsp - pepper

Instructions

Place the soy sauce, water, maple syrup, orange juice, vinegar, ginger and garlic into a small sauce pan and whisk well to combine. Cook over medium heat until it just begins to boil.
Combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water in a small bowl to create a slurry, then add it to the sauce. Stir the sauce and boil until thickened, about 1 minute, and remove from heat.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and spray a medium-sized baking dish with cooking spray or line with foil. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper, and spoon half of the teriyaki sauce over the filets.
Bake for 8-12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. A good rule of thumb is 4-6 minutes per 1/2 inch thickness.
Remove from heat and top with additional teriyaki sauce and garnish with scallions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
