Ingredients
  

2 (6 oz) salmon fillets

1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tbsp sesame oil

1 tbsp honey (optional, for added sweetness)

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 tbsp olive oil

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon:

    In a shallow dish, combine the teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, honey (if using), garlic, and ginger. Add the salmon fillets, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

      Prep the Vegetables:

        Rinse and cut the broccoli, snap peas, bell pepper, and carrot. Keep them bite-sized for easy steaming.

          Steam the Veggies:

            Fill a pot with about an inch of water and set a steamer basket on top (or use a microwave-safe dish if you prefer). Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli, snap peas, bell pepper, and carrot. Cover and steam for 5-7 minutes, until the veggies are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Cook the Salmon:

                In a large non-stick skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserving the marinade) and place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, until golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the salmon and pour the reserved marinade over the top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).

                  Serve:

                    Remove the salmon from the skillet and transfer it to serving plates. Arrange the steamed veggies alongside the salmon. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the salmon and veggies for extra flavor. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

                      Enjoy:

                        Dig into this delicious teriyaki salmon dish, perfectly balanced with vibrant, crunchy vegetables!
