Notes

Purchase pieces of salmon that are the same thickness ~ Fish that is all the same thickness (about 2 inches thick is perfect) will cook in the same amount of time.

Take the salmon's temperature ~ For moist and delicious salmon, cook it to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. A quick reading digital thermometer is handy for checking the temp.

Leftover teriyaki sauce? Serve any remaining sauce with the salmon for those who like their fish extra flavorful. Also brush it on steak, pork chops, shrimp and chicken. Drizzle the homemade sauce over cooked broccoli, carrots, zucchini, or mushrooms.
