Ingredients
Scale
For the Salmon and Marinade
- 4 Salmon Fillets, skin-on
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (or avocado oil as substitute)
- 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 medium Ripe Mango, diced
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, olive oil, lime juice, and diced mango. Stir until all ingredients are well blended to create a tropical and tangy marinade.
- Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets into the marinade, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and drizzle with a little oil to prevent sticking. Cook the marinated salmon fillets for approximately 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, indicating it is fully cooked.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the salmon from the skillet and garnish with the chopped green onions. Serve immediately with extra mango salsa for a fresh and vibrant finish to the dish.
Notes
- For best results, use skin-on salmon fillets as the skin adds flavor and helps keep the fish moist.
- If you prefer a spicier dish, consider adding a pinch of chili flakes to the marinade.
- Low-sodium teriyaki sauce helps control the salt level without sacrificing flavor.
- This recipe pairs well with steamed rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.
- Ensure the mango is ripe for optimal sweetness and texture in the marinade.
