Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tsp maple syrup, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl to make glaze. Pat 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) dry with paper towels, then brush with 1 tbsp of the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 cups chopped broccoli and 1 cup trimmed snap peas, and stir-fry for 5 minutes until bright green and crisp-tender.
  3. Step 3: Add salmon skin-side down to skillet, spoon remaining glaze over top, and cook for 6-7 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily. Drizzle with any leftover glaze, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp sesame seeds, and serve immediately with vegetables.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Snap Peas and Broccoli take to make?

Total time is about 25 minutes (10 min prep + 15 min cook). Most home cooks find this fits comfortably into a weeknight; double the batch on Sunday for two dinners.

How do I store leftover Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Snap Peas and Broccoli?

Refrigerate in a covered airtight container for up to 3–4 days (FDA FoodKeeper guideline for cooked fish). Store any fresh salsa or citrus-based garnish in a separate container — it keeps for up to 2 days. Freeze cooked fish (without fresh garnishes) for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently at 275°F until just warmed through to preserve texture.
