Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 oz each)

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening the glaze)

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup assorted bell peppers, sliced (red, yellow, or green)

1 cup snap peas

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients until well blended. If you prefer a thicker glaze, mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon of water in a separate small bowl until smooth and then add it to the marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour half of the prepared teriyaki marinade over the salmon, ensuring each piece is well coated. Cover the dish, and let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes, or refrigerate for up to 1 hour for a deeper flavor infusion.

      Steam the Vegetables: While the salmon is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Fill a medium pot with about an inch of water and bring it to a gentle boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot and add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and snap peas. Cover the pot and steam the vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender yet still vibrant and crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Cook the Salmon: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. If desired, add a tablespoon of oil to prevent sticking. Once hot, place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Sear the fillets for about 4-5 minutes.

          Glaze the Salmon: Carefully flip the salmon fillets to the other side. Pour the remaining teriyaki marinade over the salmon. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. For extra flavor, baste the salmon with the glaze while it cooks.

            Serve the Dish: Arrange the cooked salmon on plates alongside the brightly colored steamed vegetables. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the pan over the top of the salmon for added flavor and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for a fresh presentation.

              Enjoy: Prepare to indulge in this delicious, nutritious meal that’s deceptively simple to make yet packed with vibrant flavors!
