Ain’t your momma’s salmon

Growing up the closest we got to salmon was the canned version made into croquette patties. As much as I loved those croquettes as I grew up I started to appreciate just how good fresh salmon really could be. There are so many options from grilling to roasting to pan searing.

For some fun recipes, check out this Grilled Salmon or this Chili Rubbed Salmon for a little extra kick. I will say though this Teriyaki version is quickly becoming my favorite though.

Oh the Teriyaki Sauce!!

Now you can buy teryiaki sauce and use that but for me I love this homemade sauce. It is just sweet enough to make you want more but also just sour and salty enough that it is not too much. Does that make sense?

You can also use this sauce with chicken, shrimp or steak for a stir fry or poured over like we did this salmon.

Better than Take-Out!

As much as I love ordering take-out (& trust me I love it) this Teriyaki sauce makes me reconsider. As I mentioned above you can use it with chicken, shrimp, beef or salmon. I have also used it with veggies in a mock stir fry or over rice.

There really are so many options for this sauce and should be a staple in your fridge for a quick dinner option.
