Tips & Tricks

• Make your own teriyaki sauce: Combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, and ginger for a fresh homemade sauce.
• Use fresh salmon: For the best flavor and texture, fresh salmon is recommended, but frozen works fine if thawed.
• Add crunch: Top with crispy fried onions or tempura flakes for extra texture.
• Customize veggies: Swap or add bell peppers, radishes, or seaweed salad.
• Meal prep: Make the components ahead and assemble when ready to eat.
