Salmon Teriyaki Marinade

Okay, let's get down to business. My youngest asked me if I would teach him how to make salmon with white rice last night while I was tucking him in bed. I asked him why and he replied, "because when I am a dad I want to make it for my kids." What a sweet and loving 7 year old I have! He is the most loving, kind, caring, hard working, child a mom could ever ask for in her last child! He's definitely a keeper!

So in honor of him wanting to learn how to cook salmon!

This is my special teriyaki sauce that I make in my Ninja blender. Fill the blender with soy sauce about half way, toss in there about a cup of brown sugar, one sweet onion, a few cloves of garlic, add in there pineapple (optional, but I forgot to add it in this particular sauce so I put it on top of the fish). Now put the lid on and blend! No need to chop the onion, just cut the ends off and peel off the thin crispy layer.  Now you need something to put the salmon in to marinade, Tupperware, Ziploc baggie gallon size or whatever you have will work. Add the fish and the freshly made sauce. Close it and leave it all day in the refrigerator. You want to marinate it for at least 5 hours to get a really good taste!

Here it is! I think this particular day it was raining so hard and was windy we opted out of BBQ and put it in the oven for 425 degrees for about 20 minutes. Then turn off the bake and turn on the broil! Broil for up to 5 minutes to get a little blackened charred look and flavor. It will taste amazing!  Just a personal hint, do not walk away! Stay with the oven so you don't forget about it! We don't want all your hard work on the meal to go to waste!

Now to complete the meal with white rice, pasta, veggies whatever you like!

How do you like your salmon cooked?
