Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 fillets Salmon Fillets (skin-on recommended for extra flavor)
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (can substitute with avocado oil)
- 1/4 cup Teriyaki Sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 medium Ripe Mango (peeled and diced)
- 2 tablespoons Lime Juice (freshly squeezed)
- 2 tablespoons Green Onions (chopped; optional garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, olive oil, lime juice, and diced mango. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly blended to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the bowl with the marinade, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Let the salmon marinate for 10 to 15 minutes to absorb the tropical flavors.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of oil. Carefully place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the cooked salmon from the skillet and garnish with chopped green onions. Serve immediately with additional mango salsa or as desired.
Notes
- For best results, choose ripe, juicy mangoes that are fragrant and slightly soft to the touch.
- Skin-on salmon fillets add extra crispness and flavor when pan-seared.
- Adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of your salmon fillets to avoid overcooking.
- Low-sodium teriyaki sauce helps control salt levels if preferred.
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad to complement the tropical flavors.
