My father-in-law was a very good cook. One of his staple meals was to bake meat in a homemade teriyaki-inspired sauce, typically pork or chicken. I always liked the clean flavor he achieved compared to sugary store-bought sauces. This recipe is inspired by many meals my father-in-law cooked for us way back when. I love to use fresh squeezed orange juice here. If you want to bump up the orange flavor, you can also add a little of the grated orange zest to the poaching liquid. This salmon is delicious beside stir-fried vegetables. Serves 2-3.
