Ingredients
  

  • 20 ounces salmon fillets wild-caught (4 fillets)
  • 1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1/2 cup scallions sliced diagonally

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Chef's Knife
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Pour teriyaki sauce over salmon. Marinate for 30 minutes.
  2. Add oil to a large skillet over medium heat, but do not allow it to smoke. Place salmon skin-side down in pan, cook for two minutes.
  3. Flip fillets, pour in any remaining marinade and continue to cook for 5 to 6 minutes until they flake easily with a fork.
  4. Meanwhile, in a separate skillet, heat toasted sesame oil over medium heat, add snow peas. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until snow peas are tender but still slightly crisp.
  5. Serve salmon over or alongside snow peas. Top with scallions to serve.
  6. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Be sure to keep the snow peas separate to maintain their crispness.
  • Freezing: You can freeze cooked salmon for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
  • Pairing: Serve with steamed rice or quinoa for a wholesome meal. A light cucumber salad on the side can add freshness.
  • Variations: For a bit of heat, add some chili flakes to the teriyaki sauce. Alternatively, try adding a splash of lime juice for a citrusy twist.
  • Garnishing: Experiment with garnishes like sesame seeds or fresh cilantro to add another layer of flavor and presentation.
