I’m grateful that my kids love salmon because I can’t think of a healthier food than wild caught salmon. Salmon is the healthiest of all varieties of fish and is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. It’s packed with nutrients that benefit the heart and brain and I regularly incorporate it into my family meal plans. My family loves salmon every which way – grilled, baked, pan-fried, or poached – and with every kind of flavor profile. This Teriyaki Salmon is always received with eagerness and even our kids leave their plates licked clean.

This Teriyaki Salmon is simple to make and features a homemade teriyaki marinade that’s first used to marinate the salmon and then later thickened to create a luscious teriyaki sauce that is slathered on the baking salmon. I deliberate make enough of the sauce so that there’s extra for drizzling over rice and veggies.

Can you Reheat Salmon?

You can but it dries out very quickly so to avoid this follow this method for reheating: Put the salmon on a lined baking sheet, cover it with foil, and gently warm it in the oven at 275 F for about 15 minutes. As an alternative to reheating the salmon, it’s also delicious cold! Serve it on a bed of greens or flake it and pile it into a sandwich wrap – so good!
