  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon oil (avocado or sesame)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch + 2 teaspoons water (slurry)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, sushi, or brown)
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ½ cup shelled, cooked edamame
  • ½ cup thinly sliced cucumber
  • ½ cup thinly sliced red cabbage
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Sriracha mayo (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the teriyaki sauce: Combine soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a saucepan. Simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened.
  2. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet and cook salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook 2–3 more minutes, brushing with teriyaki sauce at the end.
  3. Cook rice and prepare all vegetables. Steam broccoli and edamame, and slice remaining veggies.
  4. Assemble each bowl with a base of rice, topped with salmon and arranged veggies. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce and optional sriracha mayo.
  5. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Swap salmon for tofu or chicken as needed.
  • Store each component separately for meal prep or leftovers.
  • Adjust the teriyaki glaze to taste—sweeter or saltier as preferred.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
