Recipe Notes:
- For best texture, I prefer to cook salmon to 125–135°F.
- According to USDA guidelines, fish should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F. Cooking to a lower temperature may increase food safety risk and is done at your own discretion.
- Thicker teriyaki sauce works best for a glossy, sticky finish.
- If using a thinner sauce, brush on an additional layer halfway through baking.
