Ingredients
- Salmon fillets (skin-on, about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
- Teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade, about 1/4 cup / 60 ml)
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons / 30 ml)
- Fresh green beans (about 12 ounces / 340 grams, trimmed)
- Sesame oil (1 tablespoon / 15 ml)
- Garlic cloves (2, minced)
- Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon / 9 grams, toasted)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Fresh ginger (optional, 1 teaspoon grated)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup (60 ml) of teriyaki sauce with the minced garlic and grated ginger if using. Stir until combined.
- Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush both sides lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on one half of the sheet pan, spaced out evenly.
- Toss the trimmed green beans with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on the other half of the pan.
- Roast in the oven for 12 minutes. Then brush the salmon generously with the teriyaki glaze.
- Roast for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the skin is crispy and slightly charred.
- Switch the oven to broil and broil the salmon and green beans for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the salmon and green beans before serving. Optionally, add a squeeze of fresh lime or chopped scallions.
Notes
Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure crispy skin. Watch closely during broiling to prevent burning. Green beans can be removed early if cooking faster than salmon. Teriyaki glaze can be prepared ahead and refrigerated. For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free teriyaki sauce. Variations include swapping green beans with snap peas or asparagus, adding red pepper flakes for spice, or brushing salmon with melted butter for richness.
