Teriyaki Salmon with Peach Salsa

Easy recipe for Teriyaki salmon with peach salsa along a with recipe for homemade teriyaki sauce for a delicious dinnertime meal. Prep time less than 30 minutes (45 if making homemade teriyaki sauce).

Our grocery store has salmon and peaches on sale this week. My family loves salmon so it was an easy decision to pick some up. I served Teriyaki Salmon with Peach Salsa for a summer meal bursting with flavor.

Teriyaki Salmon with Peach Salsa is an easy meal to prepare. The salmon is baked in the oven for less than 15-minutes and while it bakes the salsa is prepared. If you like, make a pot of rice as a bed for the salmon. In thirty minutes you’ll be ready to eat.

You can prepare this meal using store-bought teriyaki sauce, but making your own is so much better. It will take you just 15 minutes, so give yourself 45 minutes to get dinner on the table.

The length of time the teriyaki sauce simmers determines the thickness. The sauce on the left is thicker because it was cooked just a little longer. Tossing in some toasted sesame seeds is a nice addition.
