Salmon is one of my favorite types of fish to make for dinner. It's not only a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and key nutrients.
Why is salmon is my favorite type of fish? Because of how tender and flaky it comes out every time. It is also a great source of omega-3 fatty acids and protein. It's no wonder salmon fillets are in heavy rotation every month.

- Gluten-Free Tamari - A must for any homemade teriyaki sauce.
- Maple Syrup - This adds just the right amount of sweetness to my maple glazed salmon recipe.

- Ground Ginger - To get an authentic teriyaki flavor for your salmon, you need the ginger element in the teriyaki sauce.
