Sockeye-
Skin fillet, remove pin bones and rinse
I like cooking on a simple piece of aluminum foil for easy cleanup when I make teriyaki since it sticks to everything.
Sauce the foil and set fish on top, pour the rest of sauce on top of fish and wrap foil up the sides of fish but not covering.
Bake @ 350 for 45 minutes if its about 1" thickness. Vary as needed.
Toast sesame seeds for garnish.
Coconut Rice
Bring to boil and reduce to medium-low stirring occasionally to not burn bottom. After simmering and occasionally stirring for 10 minutes or till little bubbles start to form at the top of the rice and the rice starts to thicken cover and reduce heat to lowest setting for 20-25 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
