Mango Teriyaki Salmon is a sweet-and-savory dinner featuring tender pan-seared salmon glazed with a sticky teriyaki-honey lime sauce and topped with fresh mango salsa. Bright, tropical, and ready fast—perfect with rice or steamed veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1 ripe mango, peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, and lime juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5–7 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, prepare the mango salsa: dice the mango and place in a bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper and set aside.

3. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.

4. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Add to the skillet and cook 3–4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

5. Transfer salmon to serving plates. Spoon the thickened teriyaki glaze over each fillet.

6. Top with the mango salsa, garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra zing, add a little more lime juice to the mango salsa.

Serve with rice, quinoa, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Don’t overcook the salmon—remove when it flakes easily and is just opaque in the center.
