Perfect for lunch or a light dinner.. this teriyaki salmon is beyond delicious. This is how I want to eat every day when it is warm/hot outside. Keeps you full and satisfied without weighing you down and making you sluggish.
Sometimes I pair it like posted above with a starch. Rice, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, roasted potatoes, you get the idea. I add a starch when I have a longer stretch from lunch to supper. Most cases it is a side salad, a veggie and always, a jalapeño (I eat them with just about everything)
You can grill, bake or broil. Any choice will result in an amazing bite. Also, you can go fresh or frozen salmon. I am in a landlocked state, so I only do frozen seafood. Most likely if you are landlocked the “fresh” seafood was frozen and then thawed. So, just go with frozen. If you have actual fresh seafood available ABSOLUTELY use it!
INGREDIENTS
Salmon filet
teriyaki sauce, I use Soy Vey.. you can make you’re own, it is delicious!
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 red pepper flakes, optional.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat grill or oven to 425 Fahrenheit. If broiling start on low broil, we’ll bump it up later.
Salt, pepper, and red pepper flake salmon
heat 1/4 cup teriyaki in a pan and simmer to thicken.
place fish in cast iron or in a shallow baking dish.
bake for 3 minutes, remove from oven and baste with teriyaki. replace back in oven and every minute baste with teriyaki for the next 5 minutes.
if broiling do the same, after the first 3 minutes and first baste, bump broil to high. Keep close watch so it doesn’t burn.
if grilling, make sure to oil grates or use a grilling tray or mat. remove and serve with veggies, rice/ potato, or a side salad
If you are a fish lover like me, this will appear on your play often!
I really have wanted to try salmon at home! Thanks for the great recipe, I’ll let you know when I do it!
