Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, marinate the salmon fillets for an hour instead of 30 minutes. If you don't have dry white wine, you can substitute with chicken broth or additional orange juice. Adjust the sugar based on your sweetness preference, and consider adding sesame seeds for extra crunch. This dish pairs beautifully with stir-fried shrimp and pea pods for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the glazed teriyaki salmon over a bed of steamed rice, such as Uncle Ben's Rice, or alongside stir-fried vegetables for a colorful plate. A side of Chinese fried rice with shrimp and eggs complements the flavors nicely. Garnish with sliced green onions or sesame seeds for added presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover glazed teriyaki salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the salmon in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving as it can dry out the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of fish for this recipe?
