- 4 (5-6 oz) skin-on salmon fillets
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional for color)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)
- 2 scallions, thinly sliced (optional for garnish)
- Lime wedges (optional for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Make the teriyaki sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, whisking, until thickened (about 1–2 minutes). Remove from heat.
- Arrange salmon
- Arrange salmon fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with teriyaki sauce, reserving some for the vegetables.
- Prepare vegetables
- In a bowl, toss broccoli, snap peas, and bell pepper with a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon of the teriyaki sauce. Spread vegetables in a single layer beside the salmon.
- Roast
- Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and vegetables are crisp-tender.
- Optional broil
- Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, if desired.
- Serve
- Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce over salmon and vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds, scallions, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
The key to perfect salmon is not overcooking it. The fish should flake easily with a fork but still be slightly translucent in the center. If your vegetables are cut into larger pieces, you might want to give them a 5-minute head start in the oven before adding the salmon. For extra flavor, you can marinate the salmon in some of the teriyaki sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking.
Varianten und Anpassungen
This recipe is incredibly versatile. For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce. You can swap the honey for maple syrup for a different sweetness profile. Feel free to customize the vegetable mix - asparagus, green beans, or zucchini would all work beautifully. For a spicy kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or red pepper flakes to the teriyaki sauce.
Serviervorschläge
This teriyaki salmon makes a complete meal on its own, but pairs wonderfully with steamed jasmine rice or brown rice to soak up the delicious sauce. For a lower-carb option, serve with cauliflower rice. A simple side salad with a rice vinegar dressing would complement the flavors nicely. Leftovers can be stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and make an excellent cold lunch.
