TERIYAKI SALMON SKEWERS

Unlike more delicate fish, salmon can hold up to fairly bold flavours. These barbecued salmon skewers are marinated in a spicy-sweet blend of sugar, soy sauce, ginger, garlic and sriracha. Serve them over rice as an entrée.

TERIYAKI SALMON SKEWERS

Ingredients

  • ​1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp liquid honey
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp packed golden brown sugar

  3. Meanwhile, preheat natural gas barbecue on high heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
