Ingredients
Scale
- For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
- For the Mango Salsa:
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- 1/4 red onion, finely chopped
- 1 jalapeño, seeded and minced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger over medium heat. Bring to a simmer.
- Once simmering, add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Generously brush the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
- While the salmon is baking, prepare the mango salsa by combining diced mango, red onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl.
- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Top the salmon with the mango salsa and drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce.
Notes
- This dish can be made ahead of time; marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for up to 2 hours before baking.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Feel free to substitute the salmon with chicken or tofu for different protein options.
