Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces (6 oz each) Salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 1 cup Broccoli florets
- 1 piece (sliced thinly) Medium carrot
- 1 cup Snap peas
- 1 tsp (toasted) Sesame seeds
- 1 tbsp (grated) Fresh ginger
- 2 pieces (minced) Garlic cloves
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Rinse salmon fillets under cold water and pat completely dry with paper towels to ensure proper searing.
- Create Marinade: In a bowl, mix teriyaki sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Marinate Salmon: Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- Steam Vegetables: While marinating, bring water to boil in a pot and steam broccoli, carrots, and snap peas for 5-7 minutes until tender yet crisp.
- Cook Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated salmon skin-side down for 6-8 minutes until crispy; flip carefully and cook for additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
- Final Assembly: Serve salmon alongside steamed vegetables, drizzled with remaining teriyaki sauce and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
- Pat salmon completely dry before marinating to ensure the teriyaki sauce adheres properly and creates better caramelization
- Don’t overcrowd vegetables in the steamer basket as this creates uneven cooking and soggy textures
- Test salmon doneness by checking if it flakes easily with a fork at the thickest part
- Reserve some marinade before adding salmon to use as a finishing sauce for extra flavor
