I’ve recently found true love in spiralized veggies (healthy n yum) and these just take it to a whole new level (which I’ll discuss below)!!!

Ingredients for the Sweet Spicy Teriyaki Salmon:

How to Make Sweet Spicy Teriyaki Salmon: 

I’m making the recipe even simpler by dividing it into two parts (Cooking the Fish) and (Cooking the Sauce), but everything is done in the same pan and the dish is ready in 20 minutes.

Now Teriyaki sauce has its own sweet-tart flavor, all I added was some spicy chili sauce (you can add flakes too), along with some ginger-garlic and you mix and saute everything in a pan.

The picture above is of Salmon sauteed in the sweet-spicy teriyaki sauce and all set to be served. Now come the fun and the easiest part – Veggie Spirals.

All I did was microwaved the zucchini veggies spirals for 6 minutes (as per instructions in the back) and simply transferred the steam spiral in a sieve (to remove any excess water from steaming).

That’s it!!! No chopping or taking out any special gadgets to make your own spirals. Simply microwave, drain and you’re ready for your meal.
