Honey Teriyaki Baked Salmon Recipe
“The best baked salmon recipe ever! Honey Teriyaki Baked Salmon is easy, quick and flavorful. The perfect weekday dinner!”
Last week, a few of my favorite gal cousins and I got together for a seafood birthday dinner. We don’t get to hang out as often as I’d like but when we do it’s pretty epic!
Tons of food, tons of laughter, tons of reminiscing, tons of sisterly encouragement! It’s truly soul food with those crazy chicks. Aren’t they pretty? Gosh, I’m so blessed to have them!
Well, I was in charge of bringing honey teriyaki salmon, creamy coleslaw, tartar sauce, and cocktail sauce. Of course, we went the homemade route for the entire spread because grandma Barb’s raised “Is that from scratch?” eyebrow is etched in our memory.
Everything was so good! I posted a photo of the spread on my Instagram account! Speaking of Instagram are you following me on Instagram yet? : )
This honey teriyaki baked salmon recipe got raved reviews as always! I’ve posted this salmon on my blog a loooooong time ago and for that reason it often gets lost in the shuffle. I never got around to posting a video for it until now!
Since last week I’ve made this salmon twice, that’s how good it is! My husband LOVES this salmon which mean a lot being that he not a fish fan at all. I served it with yellow rice and roasted vegetables for lunch today and it was incredible!
This honey teriyaki salmon is full of flavor and it only gets better as it sits. Make the sauce mixture a day ahead if you can.
The flavor is sweet, smokey, and tad bit spicy. My cousin says it tastes like jerk salmon but I’ve never had that before to compare it too. You be the judge!
Watch me make the best honey teriyaki baked salmon from start to finish!

Okay, the food was great. I let the salmon sit for a day, and it was fantastic today. Thanks for a great recipe!
I just tried the recipe today. It was not bad but it wasn’t the best salmon recipe. I actually followed the recipe and it was raw in the middle so I put it under broil for 5 minutes, which was 2 minutes too long. It was partly burnt. However, the salmon was kinda dry but it did finally.absorb the juices. I’ll try it again.
Yeah that was all you and sometimes you have to alter the recipe sometimes won’t all have the same oven but trust its good. I didnt use the broiler at all I just baked it with the sauce and if I can get 5 year old to eat it when he so picky he looks at color. Trust just take you time im 14 year old eat as well and he dont like fish or nothing either he to picky as well but they they both love it and ask for it
I come here for all my recipes and they have never let me or the kids down! I come here before food network and everything for that soul touch!
I tried this and my family and I loved loved loved it, they was looking for some more. Next time I use this recipe I’m going to try it with chicken.
