I love to eat (who doesn’t?!) but I’m not the biggest fan of cooking. Making dinner can be a chore sometimes, one that I’d love to procrastinate if it didn’t mean going to sleep hungry. If you too are not big on meal prep, it’s time to give something easy and simple a try. This is where the Wegmans Teriyaki Salmon recipe comes in!

Side Dish Ideas
The best part is that you can serve this dish with other items as well. Even though it goes well on its own, I find it goes really well with some herbed brown rice. Make sure to try out Quinoa Brown Rice Recipe. If you’re in the mood for something healthy, it’ll also be good with a salad. If you want more serving ideas, try serving this salmon with this delicious noodles recipe. Cauliflower and Kale is also a dish that compliments everything.
Indian Brown Rice also makes for a wonderful side dish with salmon. Looking for the goodness of brown rice and pasta then try the low-carbs Brown Rice Quinoa Pasta.
Salmon is my go-to when it comes to making quick, healthy but filling recipes! One of my favorite things about making salmon, it requires minimum ingredients and seasoning yet still tastes great! And it’s loaded with nutrients! Hopefully you’ll enjoy my take on Wegmans teriyaki salmon recipe.
I know, cooking can get even more difficult when you’re committed to eating healthy! You can’t just order fast food or pizza and call it a day. Even though it can be strongly tempting.
To cut it short, it can be quite a challenge to whip up a healthy dinner in a short time, without doing a lot of effort.Â
Tips to Buy Good Salmon
The key to cooking great-tasting fish is making sure that it’s fresh! The same goes for salmon. Here are some tips to make sure you always buy the freshest salmon:
- Buy from renowned places or brands. Wegmans stocks some great fish
- Fresh salmon will look pink to dark pink in color. Different varieties of salmon can look different degrees of pink but as long as it has that supple color, it’s good. Salmon with brown or gray spots or blemishes has probably gone bad and is best avoided
- Fresh salmon should smell like the ocean rather than a pungent smell causing you to hold it away from your face
- Keep it in a cooler on your ride home
- Don’t keep your salmon outside the refrigerator for more than 2 hours
- Fish is best eaten fresh, so only buy as much as you intend on cooking that particular day
