Teriyaki Salmon Skewers

Submitted by Leslie

"The sweet dark flavour of teriyaki is an ideal match for salmon. This is an easy appetizer, perfect to pick up and enjoy with a glass of sparkling wine. By using a centre cut of salmon your skewers will be equal in size and cook evenly. Let your wooden skewers soak in water for about 20 minutes to prevent flare-ups in the oven.

I thought this was okay personally. It was not what I have typically experienced as teriyaki, though it still was good. To be honest, if I made it again, it would just be for the family; its not something I would make for guests.

We love salmon, & this recipe was no exception! The combo of the salmon & sesame seeds is what made it for me, & I served the skewers on a bed of brown & wild rice! Thanks, much for a great keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed as a PRESSIE in the Aus/NZ 12 Days of Christmas Recipe Swap]

I made this for Father's Day 2008. Followed the recipe exactly. We did add the green onions and the toasted sesame seeds, they really added to the look of the recipe. Very delicious and easy to make, definately a keeper!

Yum!! DH and I made this tonight and served with a side of teriyaki asparagus. These skewers were delicious. I loved the taste of the green onions and the toasted sesames sprinkled over the skewers. I would definitely recommend adding the toasted sesame seeds. They really contributed to the dish. Thank you for posting this recipe. We will definitely be making this again. Made for the Asian Forum's Let's Get Skewered Challenge.

Excellent! A new way to prepare salmon, and one I'll use again. We loved the teriyaki flavour, even if I goofed and added the green onions to to marinade instead of saving them for later. For my oven I had to increase the broiling time by quite a bit. The salmon turned out just as it should in the end, flaking apart, moist and tender. Thank you for a wonderful recipe.
