If you can’t find red frying or yellow banana peppers, never fear. Regular red and yellow peppers will do the job.
To make a more traditional teriyaki marinade, swap out the maple syrup for 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar (maple sugar is twice as sweet spoon for spoon) and place the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and garlic Into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over a high flame. Turn off the heat. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Cover. Set aside to cool and let flavors infuse. When at room temperature, use to marinate the salmon as per recipe.
If you prefer, you can marinate the salmon a dish in a single layer and cover with plastic wrap.
