Can I use frozen green beans instead of fresh?
Yes, but thaw and pat dry first. They may cook slightly faster so check doneness at 12 minutes.
What if I don't have teriyaki sauce?
Mix 3 tablespoons soy sauce with 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a quick substitute.
How long will leftovers keep in the refrigerator?
Properly stored leftovers will keep for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the salmon.
