Ingredients

Salmon

  • 2 pounds wild salmon, portioned

Maple Teriyaki Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 tbsp sesame seed oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp ginger puree
  • 5 to 6 garlic cloves, pressed or very finely minced

Mango Salsa

  • 2 medium ripe mangos
  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 medium tomatoes
  • 1 small red onion, or large shallot
  • small bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
  • juice from 2 limes
  • salt, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sauce: Combine soy sauce, maple syrup, water, ginger puree, garlic, sesame seed oil, and rice vinegar in a large measuring cup and whisk until fully blended.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: If necessary, portion the salmon into serving-size fillets. Place the salmon in a large, deep casserole dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over it. Refrigerate to marinate for 15 to 45 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Mango Salsa: Peel and dice the mangos and avocado into pea-sized pieces. Seed and dice the tomatoes. Dice the onion and chop the cilantro. Combine all these ingredients in a large mixing bowl but do not add dressing yet.
  4. Drain and Reduce Sauce: Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on a paper towel-lined tray to pat dry gently. Pour the leftover marinade into a small saucepan and simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until thickened and reduced.
  5. Cook the Salmon: Preheat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add avocado oil. When the oil is hot, place the salmon skin-side down. Fry for several minutes on each side until the salmon is browned and cooked through. Transfer salmon to a wire rack to rest.
  6. Dress the Salsa: Squeeze lime juice over the mango salsa, season with salt, and drizzle with olive oil. Toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve: Plate the salmon, spoon the reduced teriyaki sauce over the top, and add a generous serving of mango salsa. Serve with steamed white rice if desired and enjoy.

Notes

  • Marinate the salmon for the full 45 minutes if you want a stronger flavor.
  • Use wild salmon for best texture and flavor, but farmed salmon can be substituted if needed.
  • If you like a thinner sauce, reduce simmer time slightly; for thicker glaze, simmer longer.
  • Mango salsa can be customized by adding diced jalapeño for extra heat or substituting lime with lemon juice.
  • Make sure the frying pan and oil are hot before adding salmon to get a nice crispy skin.
  • Leftover teriyaki sauce can be refrigerated and used as a glaze or dipping sauce for other dishes.
