Baked Salmon Teriyaki

I just love how easy and flavorful dish this is, all I have to do is to remember to marinate the salmon fillets after lunch and the salmon will be ready to be baked in the evening. This dish ends well especially with Creamy Yogurt Fruit Salad. Yummy.

1 to 1 1/4 pounds fresh or frozen salmon fillets
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove minced garlic (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion (or 1/2 teaspoon onion powder)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
dash of crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon brown sugar

Combine the teriyaki sauce, oil, garlic, onion, pepper, red pepper (if using), and sesame seeds in a gallon sized ziploc bag.
Add the salmon fillets (fresh or still frozen) in a single layer. Remove excess air from bag, seal, and make sure fillets are covered on both sides in the marinade.
Marinate in fridge for 2 or more hours.
Remove salmon from marinating bag and put atop a greased, foil-covered baking pan
Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until salmon flakes with a fork (145 degrees internal temperature). Don't bake too long, or salmon will be dry!
Serve hot (immediately) with rice or rice noodles, and/or stir fried vegetables.
