Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with oil.
  2. Prepare the salmon fillets by cutting them into 1-inch cubes or keeping them whole, and brush half of the teriyaki sauce over the top.
  3. If time permits, marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for up to 20 minutes.
  4. Bake the salmon uncovered in the preheated oven for 10 to 18 minutes, checking for doneness starting at 10 minutes.
  5. For crispiness, switch to broil for an extra 1-2 minutes at the end of cooking.
  6. Once cooked, drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon and garnish with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and diced scallions.
