I hate it when recipes say, “You can make this recipe using ingredients you already have in your kitchen!” And then the recipes calls for fresh tarragon or fish sauce and coconut milk.

I’m a big fan of making everything homemade and not using box mixes. But sometimes I understand that it’s impractical to spend a few hours baking cupcakes or cookies.

Brown Sugar Teriyaki Salmon
