  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup green string beans, trimmed
  • 1 cup yellow string beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish
  • Sliced green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. 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.
  3. Marinate the salmon fillets in the remaining teriyaki mixture for about 10 minutes.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 2-3 minutes on each side.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Pour the reserved teriyaki mixture over the sautéed string beans and stir to coat them evenly.
  8. 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!
