Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon & Veggies

Raise your hand if you love salmon! This one is quick, easy, and delicious. The great thing about this recipe is that you can switch up the veggies to your liking, use the homemade sauce or buy your own in a pinch, and customize your servings to whatever fits your macros best.

Teriyaki Sauce:

• 1/4 cup light soy sauce or coconut aminos

• 1/4 cup brown sugar, unpacked

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 Tbsp honey

• 1 cup of water

• 1 Tbsp sesame seeds

• 1/4 cup water mixed with 2 Tbsp corn starch

Mix soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, honey, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Then combine water and corn starch mixture and reduce heat. The longer you cook, the thicker the sauce will get, so cook based off of personal preference. Remove from heat and allow to cool. You can store in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container.

Salmon & Veggies:

• 1 large salmon fillet (or individual, smaller fillets)

• 4 large zucchini

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• salt and pepper, to taste

• 1 Tbsp avocado oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Chop zucchini (or any veggies of your liking) and coat with oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Grease baking sheet or use parchment paper/foil and place salmon in the middle. Spread veggies around the salmon. Season salmon with salt and pepper, then drizzle teriyaki sauce on top of the salmon and veggies. Place in oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until salmon flakes off with a fork. Drizzle with additional sauce as you like.
