Notes

When preparing Salmon Teriyaki, it's important to monitor the heat to prevent the sauce from burning; a medium heat is ideal. Ensure the salmon is cooked to your preference, as overcooking can lead to dry fish. If you prefer a thicker sauce, allow it to reduce further in the pan before serving.
