  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with oiled foil.
  3. Line the baking sheet with foil, place the salmon skin-side down, and baste with half of the teriyaki sauce.
  4. Bake the salmon for about 14 minutes until opaque and flaky.
  5. Baste the salmon with remaining teriyaki sauce, switch to broil, and char for an additional minute.
  6. Garnish the salmon with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, then serve over steamed rice.
