No-Teri Yaki Salmon Saute

I’ve been trying to think of a dish that green beans would be good with for 3 months or so now. They’re just so boring when plain. I’ve also been staring at the bottle of Tessemae’s Teriyaki Sauce in the fridge for a good month, wondering when the hell I’m ever gunna pop the cap.

What is Teriyaki anyways, I always think of chicken when I hear it because a lot of fast food restaurants have “chicken teriyaki” on the menu….plus that’s the first thing that pops up when you google it (it’s worth a google!!!), BUT Teriyaki is actually a technique used in Japan. Teri refers to the shine of the food given by the sugar in the sauce and Yaki refers to the method of cooking; applying direct heat. HENCE THE NAME NO-TERI because do we really need to add excess sugar?! You’re already sweet enough! The sauce is made using dates which are a natural source of a sweetener and do not raise blood sugar levels.

If you don’t have a Wok, I suggest going to get one! Their super cheap (Crate & Barrel) and so useful when sautéing/stir-frying  veggies or grains.

PS: The sauce is sublime & so is the salmon! Their both a great source of Omega Fatty Acids; important for joint, heart and hormone health.

I made this dish very open-ended meaning you can serve it a variety of ways.  It’s a big bunch of delicious, fibrous and cleansing veggies lathered in a fatty sauce, topped with a heaping 47g of protein! It’s low in starch content, which is where you get to be creative!

-Serve Solo! (but make sure you follow up with dessert!

-Serve with Laiki Black Rice Crackers crumbled on top

-Serve with Brown Rice Noodles

-Serve with Jasmine or Basmati Rice

Give it a wok and tag # nourishingnelli on Instagram or Facebook to show me your creations!

Happy Woking,
