I found a market that makes salmon medallions or mignon as they called it. They worked really nice with this recipe. They were all uniform in thickness and easy to cook.

3Bake about 5 to 10 minutes depending on how thick the salmon is. Remove from oven when the middle of the salmon feels firm but not hard. Add 3 tbsp of butter to the pan and 3 sprigs of thyme. Push the salmon to the side and tilt the pan so you can use a spoon and Give the salmon a little bath with the butter and thyme mixture. Brush the teriyaki sauce on the salmon turning it over to get both sides. Remove salmon to serving plate and garnish with cilantro if desired
