Notes
Prep Tips:
- Cut the salmon into evenly sized pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — cook in batches if needed so the salmon browns instead of steaming.
- You can use fresh broccoli instead of frozen. Just lightly steam it in the microwave first.
Variation Suggestions:
- Swap broccoli for snap peas, green beans, or a stir-fry veggie mix.
- Use store-bought or homemade teriyaki sauce depending on what you have on hand.
- Add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for a little heat.
- Try using tofu instead of salmon for a plant-based option.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve over white or brown rice, or even quinoa.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions for extra flavor and texture.
- Pair with a simple cucumber salad or steamed edamame.
Storage Info for Leftovers:
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat.
- Add a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce when reheating.
