Thanks for all of your sweet comments on my last post. It was a fun way to get to know a lot of you better too!
Every once and a while I find a theme in the foods I am eating and cooking for a period of time. Maybe a take a few weeks to roast just about everything I put in my mouth. Or I want to put eggs in everything. For a series of days I might even be looking for anything that might be slightly delicious doused in my favorite balsamic vinegar. And then I move on.
Lately I feel like I can't keep my fridge stocked full enough of mushrooms, specifically cremini. What is it about those lovely little fungi? I think it's their ability to soak up any flavor you introduce it to, while still adding a flair of it's own. They can be the real star of a dish, but also don't have a problem acting as a supporting role. I just love them.
So you can imagine how much I loved pairing them with this salmon dish. Sauteed with tangy teriyaki flavors and then laid on top of a nice rich fillet of salmon, it was a total party for my palate. And I got the recipe from...do I even need to tell you? Healthy, rich, flavorful, happy new year to me, and you!

I love love love mushrooms. Too bad no one else in my family likes them :( I too get on food kicks!
What a tasty and healthy dish ~ I'm always on a mexican kick ~ Maybe because I'm mexican? LOL!
oh wow this is my kind of meal :-) yum no themes really whatever I see on blogs he he
What a wonderfully flavorful healthy dish! Perfect for starting out the New Year!
Sound delicious and I love having fresh mushrooms too. The salmon looks so good with the teriyaki...
Maybe you're craving some nutrient that's found only in mushrooms...hmmm. This dish sounds delicious! I am a HUGE salmon fiend so I know I'd love this!
I absolutely love mushrooms, this looks like a great dish!
Lately I've been on a huge sweet potato and butternut squash kick. Been using tons of bnut squash in recipes and just slicing the sweet potatoes and baking (literally every day haha)!
This is such a lovely dish. I could eat this several times a month, as I like all the ingredients you used. This is such a healthy dish that it's hard not to love it. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
Right now it's Italian. And cheese. I'm obsessed with cheese. And I'm in a permanet obsession with Mexican and bbq.
That looks yummy, I happen to have all the ingredients to make it! Thanks for sharing!
Why can't I like mushrooms? I absolutely LOVE the smell of them when I saute them in butter for my husband, but its a texture thing.
Looks delicious though!
Hope you had a great weekend!
Teriyaki salmon? Oh, I love that...one of my favourite ways to cook salmon. I must add mushrooms, too next time. I'm sure the mushrooms taste very delicious, too. Thanks very much for sharing. MaryMoh at http://www.keeplearningkeepsmiling.com
I adore mushrooms! This dish sounds wonderful!
I am loving this recipe. I really need to eat more salmon.
I do the same thing with food! The past few days it has been feta cheese. This salmon looks incredibly good - love the idea of teriyaki with the natural sweetness of the salmon.
That looks healthy AND delicious...the perfect combo :)
Mmmmm!! The salmon looks like it would melt in your mouth. I never liked mushrooms as a kid, but I'm finding more and more how great they are! I think I have a permanent chocolate fix in my brain...it's the only ingredient I ever really get excited about using in desserts.
Currently I'm in a bread and butter theme! I can make a loaf of bread and some butter into a meal.
I'm planning to make teriyaki chicken soon though! Woo hooo!
Beautiful combination of flavours and your salmon is cooked perfectly!
I love mushrooms and this looks both healthy and tasty. I need to try this out!
I'm so glad you stopped for a visit to my blog. I hope you'll be back often. Have a wonderful evening. Blessings...Mary
Yum! Simple AND delicious! I love your use of the mushrooms in here too. Gotta love "Cooking Light". Good work. This looks wonderful!
I wish I was craving something healthy like mushrooms about now. Instead I've been craving chocolate (and indulging in it far more than I should). This meal looks insanely delicious Teresa. The salmon looks so buttery and delicious.
Cooking Light owes you big;-)
Love the earthy feel and taste of mushrooms. What a nice salmon dish-healthy, flavorful and delicious.
