Asian inspired healthy salmon dish with a flavorful sweet teriyaki sauce. Want it extra spicy? Add red pepper flakes for an extra kick! Served over noodles make it a complete dinner.
I love experimenting with salmon. One of my favorite ways to enjoy it is on the grill. That smoky char and grill marks gives salmon a great flavor and look. But when grilling isn’t an option, using a cast iron to get an incredible sear is the next best way to prepare salmon. My cast iron has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools. There are endless possibilities one can use it for! I’ve made pizza, desserts, pasta dishes, and tacos all in my iron skillet. If you don’t own one, I highly suggest buying one!
