These tasty teriyaki salmon appetizers are perfect for dinner parties, or you know, just for you!
But you’re probably thinking, “teriyaki sauce isn’t exactly healthy, right?”
You’re right — many store-bought sauces are thickened with additives and most are loaded with processed sugar.
Our healthier teriyaki sauce is delicately sweetened and bursting with flavor thanks to reduced-sodium soy sauce, fresh ginger, garlic, and a touch of raw honey.
