One of my FAVORITE meals:

Teriyaki Salmon (320)
one cup steamed mixed veggies (30)
1/2 cup cooked GV brown rice (75)

Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (40)
1/4 cup dry sherry (I used dry red cooking wine - 50)
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp brown sugar (45)
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1/2 tsp pepper
3 6 oz salmon fillets (825)

In a shallow dish, combine the soy sauce, sherry, vingegar, brown sugar, garlic powder, ground ginger and pepper; stir well. Add the salmon to the dish, turning to coat in the marinade and chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Grill or broil 5-7 minutes on each side. Transfer the fish to a serving platter and keep warm. Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes or until it because thick and syrupy. Pour 1/3 of the sauce over each portion as well as the veggies & rice. Serve immediately.
