Description
A Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl is a delightful dish that combines tender salmon fillets with a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, served over fluffy jasmine rice, topped with vibrant vegetables.
Ingredients
- Salmon fillets: Fresh salmon fillets are the star of this dish.
- Teriyaki sauce: This sweet and savory sauce is crucial for marinating the salmon.
- Jasmine rice: Fluffy jasmine rice serves as the perfect base for the bowl.
- Broccoli florets: Fresh broccoli adds a pop of color and crunch.
- Sesame seeds: These tiny seeds add a nutty flavor and a delightful crunch.
- Scallions: Sliced scallions provide a fresh, mild onion flavor.
- Olive oil: Used for cooking the salmon, helps achieve a crispy skin.
- Salt and pepper: Basic seasonings enhance the flavors of the dish.
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon by marinating it in teriyaki sauce for at least 15 minutes.
- If making your own teriyaki sauce, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and ginger in a saucepan and heat until thickened.
- Cook jasmine rice by rinsing it, then boiling with water, reducing heat, and simmering for 15 minutes.
- Steam broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Cook the salmon in a skillet, skin-side down, for 4-5 minutes, then flip and add reserved marinade, cooking until done.
- Assemble the bowl with rice, salmon, broccoli, and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
Notes
- Overcooking the salmon can make it dry.
- Marinating the salmon is essential for flavor.
- Rinsing the rice prevents it from becoming gummy.
