Notes
Prep Tips:
- I recommend that you use wild Alaskan salmon, but any salmon fillets will work.
- If using frozen salmon, thaw it completely and pat it dry before cooking.
- Keep a close eye on the salmon while cooking since fillets can vary in thickness and cook quickly.
- If the salmon finishes cooking before the glaze has thickened, remove the salmon from the skillet and continue simmering the sauce until it reaches the desired consistency.
- The glaze will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
Variations:
- Prepare this recipe in the oven by searing one side of the salmon in an oven-safe skillet, flipping it, adding the sauce, and finishing it in a 375-degree oven for 5-6 minutes.
- You can substitute lemon juice for the lime juice if desired.
- Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or sliced green onions before serving.
- Increase the ginger and/or garlic for a bolder teriyaki flavor.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve over plain rice to soak up the flavorful glaze.
- Pair with lemon dill rice for an upgrade.
- Add steamed broccoli, green beans, or a simple salad to round out the meal.
- Garnish with lime wedges for a fresh burst of citrus.
Storage:
- Store leftover salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, drizzle any remaining glaze over the salmon before storing.
- Freezing is not recommended, as it changes the texture of the salmon.
- To reheat, place the salmon in a shallow baking dish and warm it in a 275-degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until heated through.
