History:
Teriyaki, originating from Japan, combines soy sauce, mirin, and sugar to create a sweet and savory glaze for meats. This popular cooking method has been adapted globally, and pairing it with salmon has become a favorite due to the fish’s rich, fatty texture. Adding Brussels sprouts brings a modern, health-conscious twist, making the dish both flavorful and well-rounded.
