You know those healthy recipes that only take 15 minutes or less to prepare? The ones you want to keep making over and over again because they rock? Well, this 5 ingredient ginger teriyaki salmon and green beans recipe is one of those.

The best healthy recipe for salmon and green beans this image
This recipe is going to quickly become a favorite! It’s crazy good and flavorful, and is so easy to make, perfect for this week’s Five Ingredient Friday recipe.

Salmon gets seared to perfection with ginger and teriyaki sauce, meanwhile green beans are cooked in olive oil. It’s a simple, healthy dinner that takes mere minutes (instead of hours) to make (seriously, the whole meal took 15 minutes, prep and all). Something else I absolutely love about this recipe is that it reheats really well the next day(you know I’m all about making healthy lunches – like this 5 ingredient pasta for meal prep – that recipe has been getting amazing feedback from readers who have made it and love it!

The most amazing ginger teriyaki salmon and green beansUsually when I have made salmon in the past, I’ve just baked it (like with this perfectly baked salmon recipe or this roasted kale and salmon detox salad) but searing it in a pan is amazing because of how quick it cooks, which means dinner is on the table that much quicker!

Whenever I talk about different sauces, people always like knowing what brands I use. So for Teriyaki sauce there are three that I like:

  1. Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce – this is the one I used for this recipe, I found it at Target.
  2. Veri Veri Teriyaki Sauce – this one is a little thicker and has visible sesame seeds in it which give the whole sauce extra flavor, I used it when I made these 5 ingredient Hawaiian chicken and rice bowls
  3. Sesame Ginger Teriyaki Sauce – this one is great and has bold flavors of sesame and ginger

The best recipe for ginger teriyaki salmonThis recipe turns out great with whichever sauce you use. I didn’t want the salmon to be swimming in sauce, so I used it pretty sparingly in this recipe. If you like things saucier, feel free to add more. I hope you’ll enjoy this easy and healthy 5 ingredient ginger teriyaki salmon and green beans recipe.

Prep Time: 5 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 10 oz. fresh green beans ends trimmed
  • 1-2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
  • 2 salmon fillets each 4-6 oz
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger finely chopped, divided
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce divided
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Start by cooking the green beans. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil, green beans, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a pan over high heat and cook, stirring frequently, until beans are bright green and beginning to char, 3-5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add in 1/2 teaspoon of fresh chopped ginger.
  • Rinse salmon fillets, pat dry with a paper towel, and season both sides with a pinch of salt. Sear the salmon by cooking it in a nonstick pan with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil over high heat for 3-4 minutes, until a nice brown crust has formed, then flip it, add remaining ginger and half of the teriyaki sauce to the pan, turn heat down to medium and cook for another 5 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.
  • To serve divide the green beans between two plates, top each plate with a salmon filet and spoon remaining teriyaki sauce on top of the salmon and serve.

    What a wonderful and healthy recipe! You’re right; cooking salmon on the stove top is much much quicker:) The green beans you’re using also need much less cooking time. We often serve those in the summer as a side here in Greece and call them “abelofasoula”. They’re much tender than the flatter ones, so we bet they’re perfect for a quick weekday/night meal.
    Thanx for the wonderful recipe sweetie! xoxo

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
