This recipe is perfect for a fast and healthy weeknight meal. It has everything you need: lean protein, whole grains, healthy fats – need I go on? My teriyaki sauce recipe is quick and easy to make, and packed with fresh ingredients. I use low-sodium soy sauce because it tastes better, but it also keeps you from loading up on too much sodium.

This recipe also works well for meal prep. Store individual servings in airtight containers for 2-3 days! I hope you give it a try 🙂
