Oven-baked teriyaki salmon served with vibrant sesame greens, flavour-packed, healthy, and ready in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless salmon fillets
- 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 100 g tenderstem broccoli
- 100 g sugar snap peas
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 spring onion finely sliced
- Lime wedges to serve
- Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Line a small baking tray with foil or parchment.
- In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic. Place the salmon fillets on the tray, spoon over the teriyaki glaze, and bake for 12–15 minutes until the salmon is just cooked and glazed on top. A microplane is perfect for finely grating the ginger and garlic.
- While the salmon bakes, use a vegetable steamer or blanch the broccoli and sugar snap peas until just tender with a bit of crunch.
- To serve, plate the greens and top with the glazed salmon. Scatter over the sesame seeds and spring onion. Add a squeeze of lime and season with salt and pepper to taste.
