Mealthy Tip

If you decide you'd rather grill the salmon, pour the marinade into a saucepan and bring to a boil so you can safely use it as a baste or a dipping sauce. It will also taste great on your veggies!

Tarragon Boi says:

This was a really simple salmon recipe, but it turned out SO GOOD. I love salmon and am always looking for new salmon recipes. I ate it with rice, not the couscous like they did in the video.

Tal Levitas says:

It tasted fine, but I feel like the soy sauce and ginger were a bit overpowering to the salmon. Next time I'd make the sauce separately and pour it on my rice instead of the salmon.

Katie Hason says:

Salmon and soy sauce just go together! I made it with basmati rice, and added extra soy sauce. So good! Reminds me of a salmon teriyaki bowl, but better. The sesame ginger sauce is mouthwatering!

Mary Clare Holm says:

Super easy recipe. We will definitely be repeating this again very soon!

McKenzie C says:

I added a little brown sugar to the marinade and let it sit overnight. It was delicious! Perfect with light zucchini noodles.
