When I’m looking for a yummy, protein-packed dinner, salmon is at the top on my list. It has good-for-you omega-3 fatty acids and it’s rich in vitamin D. Plus, it tastes so good! And salmon is easy to prepare and cook. For me it’s the perfect choice for a weeknight dinner. But sometimes I crave a little more flavor with my fish. I want something slightly spicy, and with a touch a of sweetness, too. That’s how we came up with this teriyaki-glazed salmon with vegetables recipe. It checks every box.
This is a great meal for summertime. You don’t have to turn on the oven — the salmon, asparagus and edamame cook up in just minutes on the stove. The crunchy veggies balance the hearty fish. The entire dish is topped with the teriyaki-ginger glaze, which adds zesty flavor. So delicious, and so healthy, too! Give this recipe a try and leave us a comment.
