Advice

When making teriyaki salmon, it's important to choose a good quality salmon filet. Look for salmon that is fresh, firm, and bright in color. When marinating the salmon, make sure to use a high-quality teriyaki sauce that is not too salty. Let the salmon marinate for at least 30 minutes before cooking it. When cooking the salmon, make sure to preheat the pan with a little bit of oil and cook the salmon on medium heat for around 4-5 minutes on each side. This will ensure the salmon is cooked through and evenly cooked. Lastly, make sure to add some extra teriyaki sauce over the salmon after it's done cooking for extra flavor. Enjoy!
