The sweet and savory flavors of sesame teriyaki pair perfectly with tender salmon, crispy green beans, and fluffy rice—a complete, satisfying meal.

Quick Steps ✨

Prep Salmon: Marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce, honey, and sesame oil for 10 minutes.

Cook Rice: Prepare jasmine rice according to package instructions.

Sauté Beans: Sauté green beans in olive oil until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Cook Salmon: Pan-sear marinated salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Serve: Plate the salmon over rice, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and add green beans on the side.

Step by Step Instructions 📝

1. Marinate the Salmon: In a shallow dish, combine the teriyaki sauce, honey, and sesame oil. Place the salmon fillets in the mixture and marinate for 10 minutes, flipping halfway.

2. Cook the Rice: While the salmon marinates, cook the jasmine rice according to package directions. Fluff and set aside when done.

3. Sauté the Green Beans: In a large pan over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the green beans, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.

4. Pan-Sear the Salmon: Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it in the pan. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and caramelized on the edges.

5. Plate and Serve: Serve the salmon fillets over a bed of rice, topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Add the green beans on the side and enjoy this flavorful, balanced meal!

Leftover Advice ♻️

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, microwave the salmon and green beans with a splash of water to prevent dryness. Rice can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop.
