- 2 lg. Walla Walla onions or other sweet onions, thinly sliced
- 1/2 c. teriyaki sauce divided
- 1 T. extra virgin olive oil
- 6 (6 oz.) salmon fillets

Instructions
- Pour almonds into a 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat. Shake or stir often until almonds are golden brown about 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer almonds to a plate or bowl and set aside. Wipe the frying pan clean.
- Thinly slice onions and add them to the frying pan along with 3 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce and olive oil. Stir often over medium heat until onions are very soft about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, rinse the salmon and pat dry. Place fillets, skin side down, on an oiled rack of a broiler pan. Brush about half the remaining teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Broil salmon 4 to 6 inches from heat for 4 minutes. Brush with remaining teriyaki sauce, then continue broiling until salmon is just barely opaque in the thickest part 2 to 4 more minutes.
- Transfer salmon to a serving platter. Top each fillet with equal portions of onions and sprinkle with toasted almonds. Garnish with lemon wedges.
