Teriyaki Salmon and Pineapple Quesadillas

[heart_this] · Jun 5, 2014 · 18 Comments

Teriyaki Salmon and Pineapple Quesadillas

Teriyaki salmon and pineapple quesadillas with fiery sriracha and plenty of melted cheese!

When I made the teriyaki salmon last week I could not help but think of making these teriyaki salmon and pineapple quesadillas! Teriyaki sauce and pineapple is such a fabulous flavour combination and you really can’t go wrong throwing them into quesadillas with plenty of melted cheese! I kept these quesadillas nice and simple only adding some green onions and sriracha to the teriyaki salmon and pineapple and I went with monterey jack for the cheese. I made the teriyaki sauce a little differently by replacing the sake with pineapple juice to get even more pineapple flavour. Although these teriyaki salmon and pineapple quesadillas are super tasty all by themselves I served them topped with a drizzle of sriracha mayo and teriyaki sauce and a quick pineapple salsa!
