There’s something about teriyaki sauce that brings out the best in any dish, whether it’s beef, chicken or vegetables. My family already loves salmon so I decided to combine it with a delicious teriyaki sauce. The salmon pieces were seared first and then cooked in the sweet sauce for few minutes. The salmon was perfectly cooked and tasted great. My family enjoyed it with steamed rice but I had mine with salad. I will definitely add this one to my family’s list of favorite salmon recipes.
