Grilled Teriyaki Salmon - Sooooo good! | theliveinkitchen.com

In my opinion, fall is the perfect time for grilling. It’s not too cold to be outside but it’s just cold enough to wear your cute new boots and scarves while you’re cooking.

Everybody matches their outfit to their cooking schedule, right? Riiiiight?

We don’t grill much any more since giving up meat. Some people would say fish is meat, but blah blah blah whatever.

We eat fish but not cow or pig or chicken (although I do kind of miss the chickens and I still eat their babies (eggs) so whaaaaat?) but we do eat fish and shellfish. And since fish and shellfish are scary to cook (kind of, not really, but to me they are because they seem exotic) I just haven’t gotten around to grilling them.

Until now. I’ve been cooking enough salmon in the oven (heyooo) that I feel comfortable knowing what it looks like when it’s done. So I thought I’d go for a grilled version of this teriyaki salmon because everything’s healthier on the grill, right? Riiiiiiight?

Or at least tastier. Plus teriyaki sauce! Homemade and sooooo goooood. We’re drawing out our vowels today, just go with it.

Store leftover sauce in the fridge and spoon a bit over leftover chicken (because you’re eating chicken, riiiiiight?) or cooked tofu and leafy greens for a quick lunch.

Keep a close eye on the salmon as it cooks since it can burn quickly. Once the fat started dripping on my horribly neglected, in need of some maintenance grill, the flames got intense.

Serve alongside some brown rice and grilled vegetables for a healthy, balanced, and flavorful meal.

      I apologize if you are offended by salmon. I was not vegetarian when I started this blog but have chosen to leave up any recipes containing meat. This is all clearly stated in my About page if you would like to read more, and if it is truly offensive to you I will not be hurt if you choose not to return to my site. Best wishes!
