Teriyaki Salmon

This is my husband's favorite salmon recipe.  Salmon is often requested for a birthday meal and is our main dish for Christmas Eve dinner.  You can either use the Trader Joes Soyaki sauce or use the simple from scratch recipe below.  Both are delicious!  I love to serve this with an orzo pasta or rice pilaf and then broccoli/broccolini or green beans.

Terriyaki Sauce for 4-6 Salmon fillets:

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 TBS avocado or olive oil

3 TBS soy sauce

1.5 TBS fresh garlic, minced

1.5 TBS fresh ginger, grated

2 tsp sesame seeds (white or black)

-Marinate fillets in teriyaki sauce for 30-60 minutes in refrigerator.  Preheat oven to 400.

-Line rimmed baking sheet with foil.  Place marinated fillets on foil and then bake at 400 for 25-30 or until cooked through.

*Note for the orzo pasta, I combine orzo, sautéed bell peppers & spinach, and then add the same teriyaki sauce to taste.

For an even easier version, the Soyaki Teriyaki sauce from Trader Joes works well too.
