Method
 

Prepare the Mango Teriyaki Sauce
  1. Blend mango, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, and vinegar until smooth. Pour into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 5–7 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry if needed to thicken. Set aside.
Season the Salmon
  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Cook the Salmon
  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4–5 minutes until crispy.
Flip and Glaze
  1. Flip the salmon carefully. Spoon mango teriyaki sauce over the top and cook for another 3–4 minutes until fully cooked and glazed.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: Use ripe but firm mango for the best flavor balance.
  • Don’t overcook the salmon—it should flake easily but stay moist.
  • For extra flavor, marinate salmon for 10–15 minutes before cooking.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing or increasing honey.
  • Works great for meal prep bowls with rice and veggies.
