Pat salmon dry. Brush with half the teriyaki sauce.
3

💡

Tip: Skin-side down means the skin gets crispy while protecting the flesh from drying out. The teriyaki sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Homemade is infinitely better than bottled — the difference is night and day.

⏱️Ready in 10 minutes vs ~15 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
🌊Gentle, even heat cooks fish through without drying it out — no flipping required.
