Pan Fry Salmon Teriyaki

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 fry 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!

What do you need?

FAQ:

• 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.
