In just 30 minutes, you’ll enjoy the delicious combination of tender salmon glazed in teriyaki sauce and vibrant and crunchy string beans. This recipe brings together the best of Asian flavors and textures for a quick and delightful meal. The salmon’s flakiness perfectly complements the zesty crunch of the string beans, making it a balanced and satisfying option. Let’s begin!

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes. Reserve half of the mixture for later.
Marinate the salmon fillets in the remaining teriyaki mixture for about 10 minutes.
Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred level of doneness.
While the salmon is baking, in a separate skillet, sauté the green and yellow string beans for about 3-4 minutes, until they’re tender-crisp.
Pour the reserved teriyaki mixture over the sautéed string beans and stir to coat them evenly.
Serve the teriyaki salmon alongside the spicy string beans, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

Notes

For the ultimate Teriyaki Salmon experience, balance is key. Adjust the sweetness and spiciness by tweaking the honey and red pepper flakes to match your palate. Experiment with different variations of string beans or add a splash of lime juice for an extra layer of freshness. The teriyaki glaze can also be brushed on the salmon before serving for an extra burst of flavor. Serve with steamed or fried rice for a complete meal and enjoy!
