We all know the health benefits of salmon, and lately I’ve been trying to incorporate it more often for dinner. I’ve tried a few recipes that the kids didn’t like, however this Teriyaki Salmon with Sesame Seeds has been a game changer. I make chicken teriyaki with broccoli so I thought I’d try it with salmon and see how it goes. I was happy to see that everyone loved it and they said it could stay on the menu rotation too. It’s simple to make, and most likely you have the ingredients for the sauce in your pantry…enjoy!
