Instructions
Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let it sit out for 20 minutes before cooking to avoid shocking the protein, which makes it tough.
Add all of the teriyaki sauce ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine until the sweetener dissolves. This makes a concentrated marinade.
Brush the salmon well, with the marinade and let it sit for several minutes to absorb flavor. Brush again just prior to cooking.
Grill
Preheat grill to medium (about 400 F) and clean grill. Oil the grates. Add the marinated salmon and grill approximately 3-5 minutes per side depending on the size and thickness of your salmon filets. The teriyaki salmon is done when it flakes easily.
Garnish with sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve with grilled vegetables or a salad.

Cook teriyaki salmon for 8-12 minutes depending on the thickness. The salmon is done when it flakes easily.
