Coriander mint salmon terriyaki Summer salad

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

August in Paris is calm. The streets are quiet, many of the shops are closed for the yearly “congé” and we are two peas in a pod taking advantage of the slower pace to cook, cook, cook! We are developing new recipes, jotting them down, learning to take better food photos and bringing it all to you in this space. A couple of weeks ago we enjoyed this coriander mint salmon terriyaki Summer salad.

This salad combines all of our favorite ingredients into one healthy and delicious super salad. We combined marinated salmon, ginger, sesame seeds, fresh coriander, fresh mint, tomatoes, cucumber and just the right amount of lemon.

Coriander mint salmon terriyaki

Coriander is one of our favorite ingredients and we are always looking for every possibility to use it in our food. We recently shared our coriander pesto recipe with you. It is our favorite herb as it can be used in starters, main courses and desserts. It adds beautiful flavor to meats and fish. It’s flavor reminds us of some of our most beautiful memories of travels through Asia which we will begin sharing with you in September. We are so excited! We can’t wait! On that note, we have started sorting through literally thousands of photos from our travels in Asia to bring you the very best places, meals, recipes, people and more. Sharing all of this with you in September is going to be really, really fun!

In the meantime, we recommend you make this coriander mint salmon terriyaki righ away. It is a fantastic healthy lunch option filled with vitamins, flavor and Omega 3s. It is also a beautiful dinner option that is quick to throw together and enjoy casually with the one you love. You can make it easily in a small space (yay apartment living) or at your country home in Provence with a glass of rosé (one of my favorite daydreams!).

One of the best things about this coriander mint salmon terriyaki Summer salad recipe is how easy it is to make. Once you have marinated the salmon and prepared the quinoa, you really just need to combine all of the ingredients together, cook the salmon quickly on each side (“à l’unilatérale” as we say in French) and voilà, your perfectly lemony, gingery salmon salad is ready for you to enjoy! Yum! 🙂 Another plus is that the sauce has all of the flavor and deliciousness of a terriyaki sauce without all the sugar; without any sugar actually!
