How To Make Teriyaki Salmon

Making teriyaki salmon could not be easier. And salmon is a very healthy protein to eat since it’s very low-fat and a great source of essential omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are essential to heart health and have wonderful anti-aging benefits.

Here are the easy steps to baking teriyaki salmon:

  • Preheat broiler to high.
  • Season salmon with a generous amount of salt and pepper and place on a broiler pan or heavy sheet pan.
  • Place on the second oven rack from the broiler and cook 8-10 minutes or until flaky.

The baked teriyaki salmon is the perfect protein to top this salad. While the salmon is baking, you can quickly whip up the dressing for the salad and compile the other raw salad ingredients.
