I keep meaning to share this recipe: Teriyaki Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce from damndelicious.net. Yum! I made this a month ago or so, and Scott has mentioned that he wouldn’t mind if it reappeared at our dinner table. A few times. Or maybe once a week. He loved it.

I liked it a whole lot, too, and I have a few easy tips. First, if you want to make this on a work night, make the homemade teriyaki sauce ahead of time. That would make the entire thing a snap. If you don’t have time to make things in advance, it’s still not that time-consuming.
Second, I went with the less is more approach with the Sriracha in the cream sauce. I wasn’t sure how hot it would be, so I started on the totally safe end of the scale. It worked. I enjoyed it, and it still had a little bit of heat. I might go middle of the road on the recommended hot sauce next time.
That’s about it. This is fancy enough for a special occasion, and quick enough for real life. Win and win. And now it’s on to the real life part of things.
WHAT is SRIRACHA?????
Love to you and Scott

Excellent question. Sriracha is a type of hot sauce. It’s kind of like Tabasco, but it’s originally from Thailand and has a slightly different flavor. If you’re a hot sauce connoisseur, I think it has a very different flavor. Since I can only take a little bit of heat in my food, I only taste hints of difference.
