instead, make this SUPER DELICIOUS soy-glazed salmon recipe.
how to make this recipe
- Preheat the oven to 425F
- In a sauce pan, combine honey, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic and arrowroot powder. bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, then turn heat off.
- When the oven is ready, put salmon skin side down and green beans on a sheet pan, toss with a tiny amount of sesame oil and pinch of kosher salt, and roast for 20 minutes. The salmon might be done before the green beans - if the green beans aren't yet looking blistered, take out the salmon and let it rest, then crank up the heat and broil for 2-3 minutes to give them a little charred-ness.
- Drizzle teriyaki sauce over the salmon, and a pinch of red pepper flakes over the green beans.
- Serve!
This soy sauce-glazed salmon recipe is a winner because:
1. The salmon is brushed with a no-sugar-added, soy-free teriyaki sauce. It's sweet, salty, and complements the fattiness of salmon perfectly.
2. The green beans are dry roasted, kind of like dry-fried green beans you get at Chinese restaurants, but with less oil and a little spice to give you that charred, full flavor.
3. And if you're still hungry, add in a simple asian pear - cucumber slaw. No recipe needed! Just slice cucumbers and asian pears thinly, salt, and add a splash of lime and sesame oil.
