Ingredients

Salmon

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

Teriyaki Glaze

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

Mango Salsa

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

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.
  2. Prepare the Mango Salsa: While the sauce is cooking, dice the mango into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season, then set aside.
  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 easily flakes 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 piece. Top with the fresh mango salsa to add sweetness and color.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh cilantro over the top for added flavor and freshness. Serve immediately alongside rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Ensure the salmon fillets are of even thickness to cook uniformly.
  • If you prefer a spicier salsa, add a small amount of finely chopped jalapeño to the mango salsa.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative.
  • Prepare the teriyaki glaze ahead of time to reduce cooking time on the actual dinner preparation day.
  • For extra crispiness, pat the salmon dry with paper towels before seasoning.
