Ingredients
  

  • 4 salmon fillets about 6 oz each, skin removed
  • 1 ripe mango peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice fresh squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • small saucepan
  • 12-inch non-stick skillet
  • mixing bowl
  • cutting board
  • sharp knife
  • Fish spatula

Method
 

  1. Combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  2. While the glaze cooks, dice the mango into small bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside.
  3. Heat olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers slightly.
  4. Season both sides of the salmon fillets generously with salt and pepper.
  5. Place salmon fillets presentation-side down in the hot skillet and cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the bottom develops a golden-brown crust.
  6. Flip the fillets gently using a fish spatula and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes on the second side, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches 145°F internal temperature.
  7. Transfer cooked salmon to serving plates and immediately spoon about 2 tablespoons of the thickened teriyaki glaze over each fillet.
  8. Top each piece of salmon with about a quarter cup of the fresh mango salsa.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and serve immediately with rice or steamed vegetables.

Notes

For best results, use salmon fillets of uniform thickness to ensure even cooking. The teriyaki glaze and mango salsa can be prepared several hours in advance. Store leftover components separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat salmon gently in a covered skillet over low heat with a tablespoon of water to prevent drying.
