Blackened Salmon Teriyaki Stir-fry has blackened, juicy and flaky salmon and a delicious homemade teriyaki sauce. Ready in under 20 minutes, it makes the perfect weeknight meal. High in healthy fats, protein and antioxidants. It’s satisfying, filling and one of my new favorites.

Ingredient Notes and Health Benefits:
Salmon: I prefer Wild Salmon whenever possible, and buy mine from either Whole Foods or our local spot here in Scottsdale called Chula Seafood. Salmon is extremely high in protein and is also a great source of healthy fats.
Kale: Super high in nutrients and low in calories, kale is truly a superfood. It’s extremely high in vitamin A, K and C. It also contains powerful antioxidants such as Quercetin and Kaempferol. Antioxidants play a role in preventing cancer, lowering inflammation and blood pressure and help protect our heart.
Red Cabbage: A great source of fiber, Vitamins A, C, K and B6. It’s also a good source of vitamins and minerals.
Carrots: Rich in beta carotene that our body converts to Vitamin A, this helps us with our vision, and is also good for immune function.
Fresh Garlic: High in vitamin C, B6 and manganese, fresh garlic adds so much flavor to the homemade teriyaki sauce.
Fresh Ginger: High in gingerol, it has great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It also adds flavor and great fragrance to the sauce.




How to Make Blackened Salmon Teriyaki Stir-fry:
This stir-fry is very easy to make. We will blacken and air fry the salmon, cook the veggies and make the sauce. Let’s get started!
Blackened Salmon:
- Brush salmon with olive oil.
- Sprinkle with seasoning and rub into salmon.
- Place salmon into air fryer (skin facing down).
Teriyaki Sauce:

- Pour in the remaining ingredients. Shake mason jar to combine.
Veggies:
