Teriyaki Ginger Salmon

"This simple teriyaki dish works great with salmon or other firm fish. This is my husband's speciality dish from the cookbook, Big Bowl. It is incredible. We typically double the sauce. For six weeks, we had this every week! It's to die for!! And very easy!!"

  1. The sauce was luscious. I used Chicken breasts instead of salmon; DH and I both loved the flavor. To keep it low-carb, I used Splenda in place of sugar, and sauce was so tasty. A nice balance of flavors!
     
  2. Excellent. Very tasty and tender.
     
  3. This is fantastic! Thank you!
     
  4. This review is long overdue. I already made this recipe maybe 8 times in the past year (I tried not to make it so much due to salmon having mercury, but it sure is hard to not make it because it gets requested a lot!). It's such a delicious recipe! I make it in a covered wok, but I'm sure many other type of pans can work. I use a bit less of the sauce, because I found that otherwise it doesn't glaze up in the time the salmon gets cooked. I have to say this is my favorite recipe on this site in terms of the flavor and how quickly it can be made.
     
  5. Great Salmon recipe! It was very tasty and we will be making it again, I am sure.

Tweaks

  1. Excellent recipe! I only had light soy sauce, so I substituted it for the dark soy sauce. Also, instead of peanut oil (which I find too strong), I used almond oil. I love this recipe because it is quick, easy and calls for everyday ingredients you would normally have in your kitchen. This recipe also works great with frozen salmon fillets. Thank you for sharing your recipe...a definite keeper!

I live in Omaha NE and am an audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital. I love to cook, as does my husband Michael. In the summer, we have a large garden and try to use alot of fresh fruits/veggies in our cooking. We have a 5 year old daughter, Kate and almost 2 year old son Sam and enjoy introducing them to new foods. One of their favorites is fresh pesto smeared on crackers!
