Start by discussing the ingredients needed for teriyaki salmon.

Use PF Changs teriyaki sauce, 1/2 cup of it, and 1/2 cup of 100% pure maple syrup.

Peel the ginger using a vegetable peeler, then grate it using a microplane to get about 1 tablespoon.

If using garlic, either use 2 cloves of fresh garlic or 1 teaspoon of jarred minced garlic.

In a measuring cup, mix the teriyaki sauce, maple syrup, grated ginger, and garlic together to create the marinade.

Place the salmon fillets in a small dish that just holds them tightly to keep the marinade from running off.

Pour half of the marinade over the salmon fillets and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.

After marinating, take the salmon out of the dish and move it to a larger baking pan to ensure the marinade can cover all pieces evenly.

Drizzle the remaining marinade over the salmon before baking.
