Some nights, you just need a dinner that makes you feel like you've got it together, even if the dishes are still piled in the sink. That’s where this baked teriyaki salmon recipe comes in. We’re talking tender, flaky salmon coated in a homemade teriyaki glaze that hits the perfect balance between sweet and savory. I’ve baked salmon a hundred different ways, but when I stumbled into this combo of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and a bit of maple syrup, I knew I’d never go back. It's an easy recipe for baked salmon that works whether you’re using fresh fillets or frozen salmon straight from the freezer. No judgment here — I’ve forgotten to defrost dinner more times than I’d care to admit. What I love most? The glaze caramelizes just enough in the oven, creating this slightly sticky coating that clings to the fish in all the right ways. It’s the kind of dish that makes you look like you tried harder than you actually did. If you’ve been looking for recipes with salmon that don’t require a culinary degree, this is the one. So grab that salmon — fresh or frozen — and let’s make dinner a little more delicious tonight.
