Ingredients
- Salmon: 4 (5–6 oz) skin-on salmon fillets
- Vegetables: 2 cups broccoli florets, 2 cups sugar snap peas (trimmed), 1 red bell pepper (sliced)
- Teriyaki Sauce: 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp sesame oil, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp fresh ginger (grated), 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tsp water
- Garnishes: 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 2 scallions (thinly sliced), lime wedges
Instructions
- 1. Oven Setup
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- 2. Prepare Teriyaki Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook, whisking, until thickened (about 1–2 minutes). Remove from heat.
- 3. Glaze Salmon
- Arrange salmon fillets on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Brush each fillet generously with teriyaki sauce, reserving some for the vegetables.
- 4. Prepare Vegetables
- In a bowl, toss broccoli, snap peas, and bell pepper with a drizzle of olive oil and a tablespoon of the teriyaki sauce. Spread vegetables in a single layer beside the salmon.
- 5. Roast
- Roast for 15–18 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily and vegetables are crisp-tender.
- 6. Optional Broil
- Broil for 1–2 minutes at the end for extra caramelization, if desired.
- 7. Serve
- Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce over salmon and vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds, scallions, and a squeeze of lime. Serve immediately.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Using a large sheet pan is essential to prevent overcrowding, which ensures the vegetables roast rather than steam. A brush for glazing helps apply the sauce evenly, while a small saucepan and whisk are needed to achieve the perfect glossy consistency for the homemade teriyaki sauce.

Recipe FAQs
- → Can I use frozen salmon for this dish?
Yes, frozen salmon works well. Thaw completely in the refrigerator overnight and pat dry before applying the teriyaki glaze for the best results.
- → What vegetables can I substitute?
Green beans, asparagus, snow peas, or baby bok choy all work beautifully. Just adjust roasting time accordingly—thicker vegetables may need a few extra minutes.
- → Is this suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely. Portion leftovers into airtight containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to maintain the salmon's texture.
- → Can I make this gluten-free?
Simply replace the soy sauce with tamari or a certified gluten-free soy sauce alternative. All other ingredients naturally contain no gluten.
- → How do I know when the salmon is done?
The salmon should flake easily with a fork and reach an internal temperature of 145°F. The flesh will turn opaque and spring back when lightly pressed.
- → Can I grill this instead of roasting?
Yes, grill salmon and vegetables separately on medium-high heat. Brush with teriyaki sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for that caramelized finish.
