    Pan Fry Salmon Teriyaki

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    I have always been a fan of cooking salmon in the oven but with summer right around the corner and not wanting to heat up my kitchen, I've learned that pan frying salmon is so fast and easy.

    This pan fried salmon teriyaki is a low carb salmon made with a healthy low sugar teriyaki sauce. It is ready in less than 30 minutes and pairs great with pretty much any vegetable!

    Over the Spoon for:

    • A healthy salmon dinner ready in 30 minutes
    • Salmon is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids
    • An easy and low carb teriyaki salmon

    What do you need?

    salmon and teriyaki sauce on a pink background
    • Salmon filet - skin on Atlantic salmon filet
      My favorite place to buy salmon is either at the seafood counter or Trader Joe's!
    • Teriyaki Sauce -I tend to look for lower sugar teriyaki sauce. My favorite brand is Primal Kitchen No Soy Teriyaki. Whole Foods has a great brand as well!

    How to make:

    marinate salmon in teriyaki sauce
    pan sear salmon face down

    1. Marinate between 15-30 minutes.
    2. Cook skin side up first.
    3. Flip, cook, and serve!
    Can I pan fry salmon with the skin on?

    Yes! I actually prefer this way and it is how I always pan fry salmon teriyaki.

    Is pan seared salmon healthy?

    Salmon is an incredible source of omega-3 fatty acids which are great for an anti-inflammatory diet. It is also low carb and loaded with protein.

    Is it better to bake or pan fry salmon?


    This is completely up to you! Pan frying salmon is faster than baking salmon because you don't need to wait for your oven to heat up.

    Is salmon teriyaki keto?

    This depends on the sauce you use, some teriyaki sauce is loaded with sugars so keep an eye on the nutrition label of your sauce.

    What to serve salmon teriyaki with:

    • My absolute favorite side is this Asian Broccoli (Roasted from Frozen)
    • Rice or cauliflower rice if you want to make this whole30
    • Any sort of stir fry vegetable mix or squash

    Storing and Reheating:

    I store this teriyaki salmon in a glass container and try and eat it within 3 days.

    To reheat you can quickly pan sear the salmon again or microwave for about 45 seconds.

    I hope you are Over the Spoon for this recipe!
