Introduction

This Mango Teriyaki Salmon is a vibrant and flavorful dish that perfectly balances sweet and savory notes. The tender salmon pairs beautifully with a sticky teriyaki glaze and fresh mango salsa, making it a delightful meal for any occasion.

Three thick salmon fillets with a slightly charred, golden-brown crust are arranged in a row on a white rectangular plate. Each fillet is topped with bright yellow mango cubes and sprinkled with fresh green chopped herbs. A glossy, amber-colored sauce pools around the base of the fillets, some sauce spilling over to the sides of the plate. The salmon’s pink flesh contrasts with the vibrant yellow and green toppings, creating a fresh and appetizing look. The background has a white marbled texture and a blurred kitchen stove is visible behind. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: In a small saucepan, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2: While the sauce is cooking, dice the mango into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
Step 3: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 4: Place the salmon fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 5: Transfer the cooked salmon to serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of the thickened teriyaki glaze over each fillet.
Step 6: Top each fillet with the fresh mango salsa, then garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately, ideally with rice or steamed vegetables.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in some teriyaki sauce for 15-20 minutes before cooking.
Swap the mango for pineapple or peach for a different tropical twist.
If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red chili flakes to the mango salsa.
Use skin-on salmon to help keep the fillets moist while cooking.

Storage

Store leftover salmon and salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat the salmon gently in a low oven or microwave to avoid drying it out. The mango salsa is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a day.

How to Serve

Three pieces of grilled salmon with a golden brown crust and black pepper flakes are placed side by side on a white rectangular plate. Each salmon piece is topped with small, bright yellow mango cubes mixed with finely chopped green herbs. The plate holds a glossy, light brown sauce that pools around the salmon and mango, adding a shiny texture. The background shows a white marbled surface with a blurred kitchen stove visible. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
