Easy Teriyaki Salmon with Sesame Green Beans
This teriyaki glazed salmon features a rich, sweet, and slightly salty glaze that perfectly enhances the freshness of the salmon. The sesame green beans add a crunchy and nutty flavor, making this dish not only delicious but also visually appealing.
Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Marinate the Salmon: In a shallow dish, pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Green Beans: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Add Sesame Flavor: Stir in the sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds, mixing well to coat the green beans. Set aside and keep warm.
- Cook the Salmon: In another skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the sauce. Sear the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and caramelized.
- Glaze the Salmon: In the last minute of cooking, pour the reserved teriyaki sauce over the salmon and allow it to simmer for a minute to heat through.
- Serve: Place the salmon on plates alongside the sesame green beans. Garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
