This recipe is ALL about the creamy, dreamy peanut sauce! This peanut sauce is so delectable, you could practically eat it with a spoon (not judging). But it’s also perfect for drizzling and/or dunking your chicken or even on a side of rice.

The combo of the perfect marinade, buttery salmon and a cedar plank, smoky kiss on the grill is pure perfection. Savory, sweet, tangy and buttery, it hits all the right notes on your palette. This true PNW recipe is one you’ll be making year over year.

I love Vietnamese-inspired chicken wings so much because of the umami boosters like fish sauce, lemongrass, lots of garlic and lime juice. The kiss of char these bad boys get on the grill just gives them that extra savory punch.

My tried and true blasted broccoli is perfect as is, but when I tested out a new umami-forward combo, it truly rocked my world. Instead of dressing with olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, I jazz up my broccoli with two umami flavor boosters: soy sauce and fish sauce.
