Instructions

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce:

1. Using low-medium heat, whisk arrowroot flour and water in a medium saucepan until combined. Add remaining sauce ingredients, bring to a simmer and whisk occasionally until sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Use immediately or allow sauce to cool completely and store in fridge or freezer in an airtight container or mason jar.

Salmon:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lay foil on medium-large pan (one piece horizontal, one vertical). Place salmon on foil-covered pan and dress with 3/4 cup of prepared teriyaki sauce.

   
2. Fold foil pieces into a tented but tightly sealed packet.

   
3. Place foil on oven rack and bake for 20-30 minutes (may take longer if salmon is particularly thick). Remove from oven, open packet and plate. Brush remaining teriyaki sauce on salmon, garnish with sesame seeds and serve!
