Easy Weeknight Sticky Teriyaki Salmon

Ok, to be honest here, I am not a lover of salmon. As a kid my dad would go salmon fishing in Oregon and he was always successful...therefore we ate a lot of salmon. But, I know how nutrient dense it is and that it is a wonderful food for my body so I have persevered to find ways to enjoy salmon. This is one way I have come up with that is not only tasty it is super easy. Win, win.

I start with a few beautiful filets of wild-caught salmon. The skin is gorgeous and the flesh is a beautiful coral color.

Once turned over pour the sauce all over the top and let it cook. I always carefully remove any bones left over before cooking so it may look a bit disheveled. But that does not affect the taste!

Salmon is really complementary to any vegetable or side you enjoy. Mix it up. This night we had steamed broccoli and onions, but braised greens or a big salad work fabulous as well.
