This delicious ‘salmon’ teriyaki is proof of how easy it has become to swap your favourites for vegetarian alternatives.
The reason I stayed pescatarian for as long as I did was salmon. While I didn’t eat fish that often, when I did, it usually was salmon. So you can imagine my joy and excitement when Vivera announced their plant-based salmon!
Unfortunately it is only available in selected Tesco stores in the UK, but I am hopeful they will roll it out to more stores soon. If you are in the Netherlands, it is widely available.
This salmon has a specific type of preparation. It is already in ‘cooked’ form but eating it raw like non plant-based salmon isn’t recommended. It’s best to still cook it and give it a crispy edge. Thankfully that also meant it was a perfect candidate for the salmon teriyaki dish that I still had in my collection.
We prepare this dish in the airfryer but if you don’t have one, you can also use a regular oven (just turn the heat up to 220 degrees instead of 180/200).
