Salmon with Orange Teriyaki Glaze - the easiest and tastiest salmon you'll ever make. Juicy and delicious salmon with a tangy, sweet and savory orange teriyaki sauce.
My little boy has started to eat salmon and I have been going hog wild with salmon recipes lately. We all know that salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, which is essential for cognitive development in young children.
Now that little G started pre-school, I wanted to make sure that he gets enough nutrients for his brain development. While many parents rely on omega-3 supplement pills for their children, I believe that everything that comes naturally is the best.
Anyway, previously, I have made miso-glazed salmon, honey Sriracha salmon, and ginger garlic baked salmon but he just refused to eat the fish. He said it was yucky.
However, little G is partial to teriyaki sauce and he loves chicken teriyaki, and so I made this salmon with an appetizing orange teriyaki glaze. Bingo, he is hooked.
A few years ago, I developed my teriyaki salmon recipe for my client that calls for special sauces. This recipe is very accessible, using only a few simple ingredients that you can get easily from supermarkets.
The orange teriyaki sauce is my new favorite because it has a faint citrusy and tangy taste from the orange juice, which helps to remove the potential fishy smell from salmon.
Not only the kid enjoy the meal, we also loved the dish. The sweetest thing about this recipe is that there will be some leftover of the orange teriyaki sauce which you can store in the fridge.
For the next meal, you can just pan-fried or seared some chicken thighs or chicken breasts, and you have another new dish to serve the family.

It was good. I usually use a cast iron pan on the grill for fish. I can make it quite hot and avoid the fish smell in the house. I think I’ll add orange zest and a bit of ginger next time. It needs a bit more orange kick.

Thanks Mary!

This was very, very good. I thought it might be too tangy when I first checked the sauce but with the rice and salmon and steamed broccoli I served it with, it was perfection. My very picky 12 year old really liked it. I will make it again. Thank you for a delicious, easy, and quick weeknight meal idea.

The recipe sounds delicious Do you think it could be adapted to baking instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake the salmon.
I am just learning to cooking in something other than the microwave, so forgive me if this is a silly question. I bought salmon that has the skin left on one side. Do I need to remove that before I cook it in this recipe?
It’s ok you can leave the skin on.
I just tried the recipe today. It really taste good with the salmon. My family like it. Thanks You Very Much.
I want to taste the food mmmm
I wouldn’t eat salmon any other way after I discovered teriyaki. I’ve had them from the oven mostly, smacked over the grill. When someone dear to me marinated salmon with her own concoction of ingredients and fried it over the pan the next day. I rediscovered fish paradise. Thanks for the magic!
Thanks Ken. Teriyaki sauce is good on everything, especially protein.
