The refrigerator light goes on...
Every kitchen should have low sodium teriyaki sauce on hand. It is so versatile and works with chicken, fish or red meat. You can use it in salads like this or as a quick marinade for steak on a busy weeknight. The one key is to use it sparingly. The sauce can easily overpower almost any recipe, so start low and add more slowly as needed.
