The chicken version might be more famous, but if you want to pack on muscle, salmon teriyaki should be your snack of choice. In addition to a big whack of protein, it also contains high levels of omega 3 fatty acids, which help you to recover after a tough gym session. For extra MF-approved goodness, this recipe also substitutes blood sugar-spiking noodles with high-fibre cucumber ribbons.
