Ingredients For The Salmon And Vegetables

Directions

- Rest & Serve: Pull it out of the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
What is Teriyaki Sauce?
Teriyaki sauce is a classic marinade in Asian cuisine. There are many variations of teriyaki sauce, but its main components are soy sauce, sugar, and ginger. My version is super easy to make on your own with maple syrup, minced garlic, and apple juice. Not only does this marinade give your salmon an explosion of flavor, but it keeps it extra tender and flaky, too.
Tips for Making Teriyaki Salmon with Veggies
- Line the Baking Sheet: Don’t forget to line your baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Since you’re brushing the salmon and veggies with the marinade halfway through the baking process, this will prevent anything from sticking to the pan.
- Use Pure Maple Syrup: Pure Maple Syrup is da bomb, I know, but if you want to cut down on the sugars, reach for sugar-free maple syrup or low-carb/Keto friendly syrup.
- Use Wild Caught Salmon: Wild caught salmon is so much healthier and tastier than farm raised salmon. For a dish that’s higher in minerals and lower in fat, always opt for wild caught salmon.
- Serve with Rice: If you want an additional side dish for your teriyaki salmon and veggies, I recommend serving your salmon over my easy Almond Brown Rice Pilaf!
How to Store and Reheat Leftovers
- Store your leftovers in a shallow, airtight container or wrap them tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Your leftovers will last for 3 days in the fridge.
- To reheat your salmon and veggies, cook them on a lined baking sheet at 275°F until hot. I suggest wrapping your salmon loosely with aluminum foil when you reheat it to prevent it from drying out.
