Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), skin-on or off
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for a vegan twist)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
  • 2 cups snap peas, trimmed
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned in juice
  • 1 small red bell pepper, sliced (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Make the Teriyaki Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil until well combined, about 3 minutes.
  2. Marinate the Salmon: Place salmon fillets in the bowl or a shallow dish and spoon the teriyaki sauce evenly over each piece. Let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Prep the Vegetables and Pineapple: Trim snap peas, slice red bell pepper, and cut pineapple into bite-sized chunks if needed. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  4. Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place marinated salmon fillets spaced apart on one side. Spread snap peas, bell pepper slices, and pineapple chunks evenly on the other side.
  5. Roast: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast for 12-15 minutes until salmon flakes easily and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Pineapple and snap peas should caramelize and stay crisp-tender.
  6. Optional Broil: For a glossy finish, broil for the last 2 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
  7. Serve: Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top before serving.

Notes

Marinate salmon for 10-15 minutes to avoid overpowering saltiness. Use fresh ginger and garlic for best flavor. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting. For a crispy skin, place salmon skin side down. Watch pineapple closely during broiling to prevent burning. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days; reheat gently in oven or toaster oven.
