Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets Fresh or thawed salmon fillets

- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place your salmon fillets in a baking dish, then pour the teriyaki sauce mixture over each fillet, ensuring they’re evenly coated.
Cooking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Notes
For best results, marinate the fillets for an hour before cooking. For a caramelized crust, broil the salmon for the last few minutes of cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator or freeze for up to 2 months.
