Description
This Mango Teriyaki Salmon is a quick, flavorful dish that brings the taste of the tropics to your table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 ripe mango, diced
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- To begin, combine teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Within 5–7 minutes, it should thicken slightly, imparting a lustrous sheen perfect for the salmon.
- While your glaze is simmering, focus on the salsa. Dice the ripe mango into small cubes and place them in a bowl. Lightly season with a pinch of salt and pepper to bring out the mango’s natural sweetness. The salsa introduces a fresh contrast to the savory elements of the dish.
- With a heated skillet on medium-high, add olive oil, swirling to cover the entire surface. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides before placing them skin side down in the skillet. Cook each fillet for about 3–4 minutes per side, ensuring the exterior is seared to a golden brown, while the inside remains tender and flaky.
- Carefully place each cooked salmon fillet onto individual plates. Generously spoon the prepared glaze over each piece, ensuring even coverage. Next, top with your mango salsa to add a burst of color and flavor. For a finishing touch, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the entire dish. Pair with rice or a mix of seasonal vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
Ensure your salmon is fresh and firm for the best results.
