Teriyaki Salmon

This simple and elegant salmon dish is hard not to love. With an Asian marinade, roasted quickly in the oven, the result is moist and juicy salmon with a crispy skin on the bottom.

I serve this salmon with fragrant jasmine rice or basmati rice with saffron, and steamed greens. In fact, you do not need to steam the greens separately. I simply put a large handful of freshly washed spinach on the bottom of an 8" pasta bowl. Then I cover that with the steaming rice and top with the salmon. A perfect seafood dish any time of year.
