Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Vegetables
- 4 salmon fillets (or a 500g piece to cut up yourself)
- 100g green beans, ends trimmed
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges
Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
To Serve
- Noodles or rice, to serve
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or gas mark 4. If you are using a whole piece of salmon, cut it into four even fillets to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Baking Tray: Place a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray. Lay the salmon fillets diagonally across the parchment to maximize space and cooking efficiency.
- Cook the Green Beans: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the green beans for 1 minute to slightly soften them. Drain immediately to keep their vibrant color and crisp texture.
- Arrange Ingredients on Tray: Pile the cooked green beans around the salmon fillets on the baking tray. Add the lemon wedges to the tray to infuse the dish with fresh citrus aroma during cooking.
- Mix and Apply Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the low-salt soy sauce, honey, mirin, and crushed garlic. Pour half of this sauce evenly over the salmon and green beans, ensuring each piece is nicely coated.
- Bake the Dish: Place the baking tray in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. Then, remove the tray and pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon to enhance the flavor and glaze.
- Finish Cooking: Return the tray to the oven and cook for an additional 5 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce is sticky and caramelized.
- Serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the cooked salmon and green beans. Serve immediately with warm noodles or rice for a complete and satisfying meal.
Notes
- If you don’t have mirin, you can substitute it with a mix of dry sherry and a little sugar.
- Be careful not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- For extra flavor, grill the salmon for a couple of minutes at the end for a slightly charred finish.
- Low-salt soy sauce helps reduce the sodium content while keeping the umami taste.
- You can substitute green beans with asparagus or broccoli if preferred.
