Food To Be Fit: Sweet & Spicy Teriyaki Glazed Salmon with Sautéed Gai-Lan

I decided to be creative and make Sweet & Spicy Teriyaki Glazed Salmon Fillets with sautéed Gai-Lan (Chinese Broccoli). Well...to keep my food reviews & comments minimal, lets just say my boyfriend almost licked the plate, and all I could hear in between bites was "WHOA!", "UNREAL!", "AMAZING!", and "MMM". So, without further ado:

  5. Heat oil in a large pot and sauté the garlic and shallots and crushed red chilli flakes until fragrant. Add Gai-Lan and cook covered until bright green and fork tender.
