Salmon
- 4 salmon fillets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Teriyaki Glaze
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Mango Salsa
- 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Prepare the Teriyaki Glaze: 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.
- Prepare the Mango Salsa: 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 for seasoning. Set aside.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fillets in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- Assemble the Dish: Once the salmon is cooked, transfer the fillets to serving plates. Spoon a generous amount of the thickened teriyaki glaze over each piece of salmon. Top with the fresh mango salsa for a burst of sweetness and color.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh cilantro for added flavor and a touch of freshness. Serve immediately with rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the best flavor and texture in the salsa.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- The teriyaki glaze can be prepared in advance and reheated gently before serving.
- For a spicier version, add a small amount of minced chili or red pepper flakes to the mango salsa.
- Serve with steamed jasmine rice or sautéed vegetables for a balanced meal.
