Teriyaki Salmon with Pineapple Black Bean Salsa

December 20, 2012 by Lindsay 18 Comments

Jump to Recipe

Hi Friends!

I’ve got a fun new salmon recipe to share with you guys today. The other weekend I was in the mood for salmon. We eat a lot of salmon, most often in burger/cake form…but this time I was in the mood for something different. This is super easy and it comes together quickly.

This Teriyaki Salmon is topped with a flavorful pineapple and black bean salsa for an easy weeknight dinner.

We picked up some pineapple at Kroger when they were on sale for $1 and immediately knew I wanted pineapple black bean salsa! I put together a quick teriyaki glaze for the salmon, threw together the salsa, put it on a plate and called it a day!

So here’s what you do:

Doesn’t get any easier than that, friends! I didn’t even marinate the salmon and it still tasted great! If you have extra time and want to marinate it, go for it…but I don’t think it’s necessary. You can also grill the salmon instead of pan-searing it!

Enjoy!

    It looks so fresh and easy. I have been looking at salmon recipes on Pinterest… trying to increase my Omega 3’s via food not supplements and, always looks for low cal, heathy recipes because we eat so many treats throughout the holidays. Plus, Salmon is orange and a seafood #plumporangebean

    Salmon is my favorite! I picked up a salmon salad for dinner last night because I just had to have it. I’m always intimidated about making my own salmon at home. I worry that I’ll dry it out/overcook it or something!

    YUM! True fact. I am addicted to teriyaki. I get it from the organic section so I deem it “healthy” 😉

    I love salmon but I’m pretty boring in terms of preparation – just simply broiled. This looks delicious!
