Teriyaki Glazed Salmon with Peach Salsa
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
This Teriyaki Glazed Salmon with Peach Salsa is a great recipe to kick off your cooking this year. It’s light, super healthy and easy to make when you have a “garden in your pantry”! New Year’s Resolution #877: Cook more at home. I know, I know. It doesn’t make sense for a food blogger to say that. Let me explain.
After spending the day “working” on my blog; i.e. baking 2 cakes, pinning up a storm and filming a tutorial on how to chop onions, I realize I didn’t cook anything for dinner and we don’t usually eat cake for dinner. All this has recently led to an increase in eating out.
When my hubby and I got married over 10 years ago, we ate out a lot! A few months into it, we made a decision to cook more at home and we both dropped 5 pounds. Cooking at home meant we didn’t have to be on any of these new torture diets.
Ingredients for Teriyaki Glazed Salmon:
1 1/2 Tbsp honey
4 salmon fillets (1 to 1 1/2 lbs of Salmon)
2 Tbsp Oil (I used extra light olive oil)
Ingredients for the Peach Salsa:
15 oz canDel Monte® Sliced Peaches (in 100% fruit juice), well drained
1/2 of a 15.25 oz can of Del Monte® Whole Kernel Corn (no salt added), well drained
1 medium tomato, diced
1 small or 1/2 of a large jalapeno, seeded and finely diced
1/2 medium red onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
1Tbsp lime juice (juice of 1/2 lime)
Salt and Pepper to taste
How to Make Teriyaki Glazed Salmon:
1. Combine 1 Tbsp teriyaki sauce with 1/2 Tbsp lime juice and 1 1/2 Tbsp honey. Your honey should be in liquid form. If it’s not, heat it up in the microwave or over a bowl of hot water. Whisk it all together until you have a consistent syrup.
2. Cut salmon into 4 equal pieces. Place them in a quart-sized ziploc and pour marinade over the top. Mix it up in the bag to coat the salmon evenly. Let marinate for 30 minutes in the fridge, rotating the fillets every 15 min. (Meanwhile make your salsa).
3. Once your salmon is done marinating, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add in 2 Tbsp olive oil. Once the oil is hot, Add salmon, skin side up and saute 3-4 minutes, then turn over carefully and saute another 4 minutes or until salmon reaches desired doneness and is flaky. If your salmon pieces are smaller like mine were, it’s just 3 min per side. Adjust times according to the thickness of your salmon.
How to Make Peach Corn Salsa:
1. Drain corn well and sauté for a few minutes on med/high heat until roasted and browned. Set aside to cool. You don’t have to roast them. It’s up to you.
2. Drain your peaches well and pat dry them a little with a paper towel. Chop peaches. Chop tomatoes and finely dice onions. Finely mince your jalapeños. Chop your Cilantro. Add all of these veggies, peaches and your corn to a medium mixing bowl.
3. Stir in 1 Tbsp lime juice (fresh squeezed is best) and add Salt (1/4 tsp) and Pepper (1/8 tsp) to taste. Stir to combine and serve a generous amount over each salmon piece or refrigerate until ready to serve. If you have any leftover salsa, take some tortilla chips to it ;).
We paired this teriyaki salmon and peach corn salsa with fluffy white rice.

hi natasha! love your recipes!!
can i bake salmon instead of pan frying it?
thanks!
Hi Claire, I’m sure that would be fine but I cannot advise on the timing as I have not tested it yet.
I don’t really like salmon so I made Cod with the peach salsa and it was so good! My family loved it so much! Thank you for sharing this recipe!
You’re welcome! I’m so glad you enjoyed that!
Fantastic and so easy! I confess I generally use a recipe as a guide and don’t get too hung up on the fine details (no red onions? I used white) just little switches like that. Which was the case here as well. It still came out wonderful. So EZ to prepare I only wish I had made myself a bigger piece! (next time)
I’m so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing your great review!
I am a huge salmon fan. Having been a commercial salmon fisherman in Bristol Bay, AK, I have eaten my share of salmon but I never cook it with the skin and I never turn it over. A couple of reasons; 1. I love the crust that forms on the pan side. yum! 2. I always turn the thin part of the filet under to make it thicker and less likely to dry out. yuk! Just place in frying pan on medium heat with skinned side down. Cover with a stainless steel pan, smaller the better, to keep the heat in. Cook about 5 min and check for doneness. In my opinion, the best way to cook a wonderful fish.
Great tip Bob! I think I will try your method myself, thanks for sharing!
looks great. what type of salmon was that? it looked dark.
Hi Lorie, it was so long ago that I published this, I honestly can’t remember! It was a wild caught filet but I can’t remember the specific type.
which teriyaki sause do you reccomend is best? Brand?
Hi Anna, you usually can’t go wrong with one of the big brands like Kikkoman 🙂
It was delicious! How can I use the leftover sriracha cream sauce
Hi Haffy, I don’t have a sriracha cream sauce in this recipe so I’m not sure what you’re referring to although it sounds great! 🙂
I like to have stored in my pantry canned corn
and peaches. Cherry pie filling for pastries is a
great plus to have handy as well for me.
I’ve made this for dinner last night and didn’t eat any, wasn’t that hungry….I just had it for lunch and I think I’ve died and gone to heaven…..OHHH MYYY!!!! I used king salmon and wow…..it melts right in my mouth…..AMAZING!!! definitely a keeper
Thank you Masha! You’re the best! 🙂

can I use soy sauce instead of teriyaki? Or will it be gross?
Hmmm…. Soy sauce has a way stronger flavor so if you do try it, you might use a little less. I like the teriyaki because it is a little sweeter and I think it works better with the peach salsa. Are you planning to make the peach salsa?
