  • Author: Ellie Mae Parker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 1 cup uncooked brown rice
– 1 cup broccoli florets
– 1 cup snap peas
– 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
– ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
– 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 garlic clove, minced
– 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
– Sesame seeds for garnish
– Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowls is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Rice: Begin by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions. Typically, this will involve rinsing the rice and boiling it in water until tender.

2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until combined. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, wash and prepare the vegetables. Cut the broccoli into small florets, trim the snap peas, and slice the bell pepper.

4. Cook the Salmon: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and sear for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon gently and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the fish. Cook for another 4-5 minutes or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from heat and set aside.

5. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the prepared vegetables. Stir-fry them for about 3-4 minutes until they are just tender but still vibrant.

6. Assemble the Bowls: Start with a base of rice in each bowl. Add the sautéed vegetables on one side and the cooked salmon on the other. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the top.

7. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
