Ingredients

Scale

For the Salmon

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Teriyaki Glaze

  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

For the Mango Salsa

  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Garnish

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside once done.
  2. Prepare the Mango Salsa: While the teriyaki glaze is cooking, dice the mango into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside to let the flavors meld.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Transfer the cooked salmon fillets to serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of the thickened teriyaki glaze over each fillet. Top with fresh mango salsa to add a sweet, tangy burst of flavor and color.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the dish for added aroma and freshness. Serve immediately with steamed vegetables or rice for a complete, balanced meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Adjust the cooking time of the salmon based on fillet thickness to avoid overcooking.
  • For extra depth, marinate the salmon in a bit of teriyaki sauce for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Serve with jasmine or basmati rice to soak up the glaze and salsa juices.
  • Fresh lime juice in the glaze adds a nice tang and balances the sweet and savory flavors.
