Teriyaki Salmon

One of the biggest advantages of salmon (aside from its health benefits), is how quickly it cooks. If you’re new to salmon, don’t underestimate the power of marinating it for a few hours to add flavor. Use any prepared teriyaki sauce to save time. To take it up on a notch, top Teriyaki Salmon with sesame seeds and serve with Japanese BBQ sauce.
