Favorite New Recipe! This salmon is covered in rub, smoked low and slow on a salt block, and finished with thick teriyaki glaze. Throw the whole thing on a bed of basmati, and dinner is served

  3. Add the zest, teryaki, and brown sugar and simmer until reduced by 1/3 (or until it has the consistency of thin syrup)
