Grilled Teriyaki Salmon Tips
What else can you add to grilled teriyaki salmon?
If you’re looking to enhance this three-ingredient grilled teriyaki salmon, try adding a few additional components just before serving. Toasted sesame seeds, chopped green onions or minced cilantro add texture and visual appeal, while ingredients like minced ginger, pineapple slices or
Sriracha hot sauce add a boost of flavor. Adding more teriyaki sauce while serving is never a bad idea, either, giving the dish an extra sweet-and-savory boost.
How can you tell when salmon is done cooking?
When
cooking salmon, an instant-read thermometer is the best way to determine when it's done. Place the probe in the thickest part of the salmon; it's finished when the thermometer reads 145°. If you don’t have a thermometer, look for the flesh to turn opaque and flake apart easily when tested with a fork.
What do you serve with grilled teriyaki salmon?
We love to mix and match a few
wok-inspired recipes to serve alongside grilled teriyaki salmon. Almost any
salmon recipe served with regular or sticky rice is always a winning combination, or add vegetables to the mix and create a vibrant fried rice dish. For vegetable side dishes, you can’t go wrong with stir-fried broccoli and mushrooms, steamed edamame or a crunchy
Asian slaw.
