A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring tender, sticky-sweet teriyaki salmon roasted alongside crisp bok choy and fresh edamame. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces each
  • Baby bok choy, halved or quartered
  • 1 cup shelled frozen edamame, thawed
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Sesame seeds, toasted (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup until well combined.
  3. Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on one side of the baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the teriyaki glaze, reserving some for later.
  4. On the other side of the sheet pan, spread halved baby bok choy and about 1 cup of thawed edamame. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss gently to coat evenly.
  5. Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 12-15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the bok choy is tender but still crisp.
  6. Optional: Brush reserved teriyaki glaze over the salmon and broil for 2-3 minutes for a sticky finish, watching closely to avoid burning.
  7. Sprinkle sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the top before serving.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to ensure a caramelized finish. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the veggies. Broil briefly at the end for a sticky glaze but watch carefully to avoid burning. You can marinate the salmon for 10-15 minutes if time allows. Substitute bok choy with kale or Swiss chard and edamame with snap peas or chickpeas for variation. Use tamari for gluten-free version.
