Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for glaze thickening)

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup sliced bell peppers (any color)

1 cup snap peas

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Make the Teriyaki Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. If you like a thicker glaze, mix the cornstarch with a tablespoon of water in a separate bowl and then combine it with the marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki marinade over the top. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).

      Prepare the Steamed Veggies: While the salmon is marinating, prepare the veggies. Fill a pot with an inch of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot, add the broccoli, bell peppers, and snap peas. Cover and steam for about 5-7 minutes, or until the veggies are tender but still vibrant and crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Cook the Salmon: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add a tablespoon of oil (if desired, for non-stick), and place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes.

          Glaze the Salmon: Carefully flip the fillets and pour the remaining teriyaki marinade over the top. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. You can also baste the salmon with the glaze for extra flavor.

            Serve: Plate the salmon alongside the steamed veggies. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

              Enjoy: Ger ready for a delicious and healthy meal that’s quick to make and packed with flavor!
