Ingredients
Scale
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
For the Salmon and Bowl
- 2 salmon fillets
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Lime wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the teriyaki sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and a teaspoon of sesame oil until thoroughly combined.
- Season the salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Cook the salmon: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon is mostly cooked through.
- Glaze the salmon: Flip the salmon fillets, pour the prepared teriyaki sauce over them, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. This allows the sauce to glaze the salmon and finish cooking the fish through.
- Assemble the bowl: Spoon the cooked jasmine rice into serving bowls. Arrange steamed broccoli florets and shredded carrots alongside the rice.
- Add salmon and garnish: Place the glazed salmon fillets on top of the rice and vegetables. Spoon any extra pan sauce over the bowl. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve: Optionally serve with lime wedges to add a fresh zing just before eating. Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For a vegetarian alternative, substitute salmon with marinated tofu and pan-fry following the same method.
- Add avocado slices or pickled ginger to the bowl for extra flavor and texture variety.
- If you prefer a thicker teriyaki sauce, simmer the sauce for a few additional minutes before adding it to the salmon.
