I am happy to say that I am in Miami this week, woot-woot.  Well, I needed a break from the extremely cold temps in Cincinnati and all that snow.  I plan on soaking up the sunshine, enjoying some time on the beach with family and going to some amazing restaurants.  We have been running every morning since we arrived and let me say, oww.  It is pretty incredible how not running any amount distance for six months has made me soft.  I have blisters and sore legs.  Just proves that I need to do a little more crosstraining, and not just depend on my CrossFit to take care of everything.

Back to this AMAZING recipe….before we headed out of town, I worked on a ton of recipes.  One that I made several times and just Loved was this Paleo Salmon Teriyaki dish.

I can’t tell you how easy this recipe is to prepare, and it is done from start to finish in 20 minutes.  You heard me right, 20 minutes.  Look at it, it is gorgeous and ridiculously delicious.  The homemade teriyaki sauce is simple to make and WAY better than anything you can buy at the store.  When preparing your sauce, make sure to watch the time on the boil.  I did not the first time and my sauce thickened up fine, smelled fine, but had burnt after taste.  The second and third time around I paid a wee bit more attention and the sauce was perfect.

Please give this recipe a try, don’t be intimidated!  I swear it is easy and you will love it!

  2. If you need a friend to help you eat this, I will gladly volunteer! My husband won’t touch salmon with a ten foot pole, so I usually don’t get to have it!

  6. Still sooooooo cold here! So cold. And our furnace had a leak so we are using heaters to keep us warm… But I have an excuse to keep my oven running all day to cook delicious meals and this salmon recipe looks so warm and inviting on this very cold day.

    • It is crazy cold at home, and they are predicting 10 more inches of snow tomorrow. I am ready for spring, I hope your furnace gets fixed soon!

  18. This recipe came together so fast. It was quick, easy and delicious. I think the salmon may taste as good the next day cold after a work-out. Teriyaki is my favorite and this glaze is so healthy when compared to store bought! Thanks Amy.
