If you like the sweet tangy taste of teriyaki, you’ll love our teriyaki stir fry. It’s a no-fuss, no-brainer combination of ingredients you can quickly call upon when hunger strikes and you’re short on time. It’s easy to memorize, and it’s really really good. Maybe we love this recipe so much because of the sticky, sweet honey teriyaki glaze. It could also be that it’s just so darn easy to make. In either case, it’s our go-to salmon recipe, and it’s on repeat around our home year round. If you’re wondering how to turn it into a meal, just start a pot of rice before you start the salmon, then sear some bok choy, broccoli, or carrots while the salmon cooks. Dinner can be that easy! Here’s everything you need to make this honey teriyaki salmon:
Honey – honey is a key ingredient in teriyaki sauce, making it sweet and sticky. Soy sauce – soy sauce has a salty umami flavor and gives this sauce its deep brown color. Rice vinegar – rice vinegar is a staple in Asian cuisine. It’s milder than most vinegars and has a subtle sweetness to it. Water Ginger + garlic – ginger and garlic give this sauce a punch of flavor and a bit of heat. Salmon – look for salmon fillets that are similarly sized so they cook evenly. We often buy steelhead salmon as it doesn’t dry out like other types of salmon. Salmon is such an amazing source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids so you can’t go wrong not matter which type of salmon you choose. Sesame seeds + sliced green onions – for garnish.
This Asian-inspired teriyaki honey salmon dish can be enjoyed in so many ways! It tastes delicious over a bed of fluffy basmati rice, in noodle dishes, with grilled vegetables, or flaked over salads. Up the nutrition by using brown rice, or make it low-carb with cauliflower rice.
Try it with our soy ginger noodles or some sautéed boy choy and our favorite coconut rice for a delicious complete meal!
