Teriyaki Grilled Salmon

Teriyaki Grilled Salmon

Background

Fresh salmon was fundamental to my family’s diet, mainly during the summers. We would have salmon every day. This recipe is break from the plain sautéed salmon that we, as kids, got so tired of. This is a quick way to prepare a nice dinner. “Teriyaki” basically means to brush glaze onto the salmon filets gradually while grilling over medium heat.
