- Step 4: Pour the teriyaki sauce mixture evenly over the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well coated.

Notes
- Store leftover baked salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days to maintain its moisture and flavor.
- For best results, gently reheat the salmon in the oven at 275°F (135°C) to prevent it from drying out.
- Serve your baked teriyaki salmon over a bed of fluffy rice with steamed broccoli for a complete and balanced meal.
- For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce mixture for at least 30 minutes before baking to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
