Ingredients

4 (6–8 ounce) salmon filets
1 cup Kona Coast® Island Teriyaki Marinade & Grilling Sauce
1 large ripe mango, peeled and finely diced
1/4 cup Roasted Red Bell Peppers, finely diced
1/4 cup Sliced Tamed™ Jalapeño Peppers, finely diced
2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons minced cilantro, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons lime juice, plus wedges for serving
Salt and pepper to taste
Steamed white rice or cauliflower rice, for serving

Notes & Substitutions: The Kona Coast® Island Teriyaki Marinade is the star here, so try not to swap it out — it gives the salmon that signature island flavor. If you can’t find a ripe mango, refrigerated mango chunks (thawed and drained) work in a pinch. Not a fan of cilantro? Fresh flat-leaf parsley makes a decent stand-in. The Tamed™ Jalapeño Peppers add mild heat without overwhelming the dish, but if you prefer no heat at all, simply leave them out. Cauliflower rice is a great low-carb option that still soaks up all the delicious glaze beautifully.

Instructions

Marinate the salmon. Place the salmon filets into a large zip-top bag or a reusable storage container. Pour in the Kona Coast® Island Teriyaki Marinade & Grilling Sauce, seal it up, and gently turn the bag to coat each filet. Transfer to the refrigerator and let it marinate for 30 minutes. This step is key — it allows the marinade to deeply flavor the salmon and helps keep it moist during baking.
Make the mango salsa. While the salmon marinates, add the finely diced mango, Roasted Red Bell Peppers, Tamed™ Jalapeño Peppers, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir everything together to combine. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. Chilling the salsa lets the flavors meld together beautifully.
Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Prep the salmon for baking. Remove the salmon filets from the marinade and place them on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if applicable. Brush each filet generously with some of the remaining Kona Coast® Teriyaki Marinade & Grilling Sauce for an extra-glossy, caramelized finish.
Bake the salmon. Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes. The salmon is perfectly done when it flakes easily with a fork and the glaze looks deep and slightly caramelized around the edges. Thicker filets may need the full 15 minutes, while thinner pieces will be ready closer to 12.
Serve and enjoy! Spoon steamed white rice or cauliflower rice into each bowl. Lay a glazed salmon filet on top, then add a generous spoonful of the chilled mango salsa. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh minced cilantro and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing. Enjoy!

Pro Tips & Troubleshooting

Most common mistake: Skipping the full 30-minute marinating time. Even a short marinate makes a huge difference in flavor — don’t rush it!

Tip 1: Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel before placing it on the baking sheet. This helps the teriyaki glaze stick better and promotes a nice caramelized coating.

Tip 2: Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Give each filet a little space so heat circulates evenly.

Troubleshooting: If your salmon looks done on the outside but still feels soft in the center, give it 2–3 more minutes and check again. Every oven runs a little differently, so always use the fork-flake test rather than relying solely on the timer.

Serving, Storage & Variations

Serving: Serve the salmon right out of the oven over a bed of fluffy steamed white rice or light cauliflower rice. A squeeze of fresh lime juice just before eating ties everything together perfectly.

Storage: Store leftover salmon and mango salsa separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat salmon gently in the oven at 275°F for about 10 minutes to avoid drying it out. The salsa is best enjoyed cold or at room temperature — no reheating needed.

Variations:

Grilled version: Cook the marinated salmon on a preheated grill over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side.
Sheet pan meal: Add broccoli or asparagus to the baking sheet for a complete one-pan dinner.
Spicier salsa: Add extra diced Tamed™ Jalapeño Peppers or a pinch of red pepper flakes for more heat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen salmon for this recipe?

Yes! Just make sure to fully thaw the salmon in the refrigerator overnight before marinating. Pat it dry before adding the marinade for the best flavor absorption.

How do I know when the salmon is done baking?

The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork and the flesh has turned from translucent to opaque. The teriyaki glaze will also look slightly caramelized and sticky around the edges.

Can I make the mango salsa ahead of time?

Absolutely — in fact, we recommend it! Making the salsa a few hours in advance gives the flavors time to develop. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator and give it a quick stir before serving.
