DOUBLE K GRILLED SALMON

Double K Grilled Salmon image

There's a little story behind the name of my favorite salmon recipe: When my husband, Kevin, and I couldn't find a spicy teriyaki-style marinade to our liking, we created one in and named it Double K-for Krista and Kevin. Every time we make this flavorful fish, we get asked how we do it.
