Description
A delicious and healthy recipe for glazed teriyaki salmon served with sautéed sesame pak choi.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups pak choi, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the teriyaki sauce and honey. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki mixture over them. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place the fillets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped pak choi to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While the pak choi is cooking, pour the reserved teriyaki marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Serve the salmon over the sautéed pak choi, drizzled with the thickened teriyaki glaze. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha to the teriyaki marinade.
- Substitute the salmon with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
