HOW TO MAKE ONE PAN SRIRACHA TERIYAKI SALMON WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS

First, cook the sugar snap peas: In a large no stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.

Add the sugar snap peas, and saute, tossing occasionally for 3-5 minutes or until peas are crisp and tender.

Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and reserve.

Cook the salmon: Heat another 1 tablespoon of oil and season salmon fillets with salt and pepper to taste.

Place fillet skin-side-up in the pan and sear until half way up the flesh changes color (about 3-4 minutes). 

Then, turn salmon fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on the other side, or until cooked through. Remove fillets from the pan and reserve.

Prepare the sauce: Whisk store-bought teriyaki sauce, water, sriracha chili sauce, and honey together and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Then, mix cornstarch and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth (no lumps) and whisk in the sauce mixture until thickened (about 1-2 minutes).

Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets, add the sesame seeds and green onions, and serve with the cooked sugar snap peas. Enjoy!

What Is Teriyaki?

According to Wikipedia, teriyaki is a 17th century Japanese cooking technique in which foods are either broiled or grilled with a glaze of soy sauce, rice wine (mirin), and sugar.

Teriyaki Sauce

Although there are variations, traditional teriyaki sauce is sweet and is made from a mixture of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar (or honey).

It is boiled until reduced to the desired thickness and then used to either marinate meats or to brush them several times during broiling or grilling.
