Mango Teriyaki Salmon 

This Mango Teriyaki Salmon offers an irresistible combination of sweet and savory flavors that evoke a taste of the tropics. Salmon fillets are gently marinated in a glossy teriyaki-style glaze—made with soy sauce, maple syrup, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic for layered depth. Pan-seared and basted until beautifully caramelized, each fillet is then topped with a fresh mango salsa, bursting with mango sweetness, creamy avocado, zesty lime, and vibrant herbs. Quick to prepare yet elegant enough for entertaining, it's a refreshing dish that shines on any dinner menu.

Ingredients
For the Salmon & Teriyaki Marinade:

• 2 lbs salmon fillets, portioned
  
  

• ¼ cup soy sauce
  
  

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
  
  

• ¼ cup water
  
  

• 1 tbsp sesame oil
  
  

• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  
  

• 1 tbsp ginger puree (or grated fresh ginger)
  
  

• 5–6 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced
  
  

For the Mango Salsa:

• 1 large ripe mango, diced
  
  

• Optional additions (from comparable recipes): avocado, red onion, cilantro, lime juice, and salt—for freshness and balance
  
  

Directions

1. Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, water, sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic to make the teriyaki marinade. Pour over the salmon. Refrigerate for 15–45 minutes.
   
   

2. Pan-Sear & Glaze: Heat a skillet with a little neutral oil over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down first, sear until caramelized on both sides. Set salmon aside and pour the marinade into a small sauce pot. Simmer it over low heat for 10–15 minutes until reduced into a thicker glaze.
   
   

3. Make the Mango Salsa: While the sauce reduces, combine diced mango with any optional additions like avocado, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. Wait to dress it until just before serving so flavors stay vibrant.
   
   

4. Serve: Drizzle the caramelized teriyaki glaze over the salmon and top with a generous spoonful of mango salsa. Serve over steamed rice or greens to soak up every last bite.
