Teriyaki Salmon Bowl is a nutritious and flavorful meal featuring tender salmon glazed in a sweet and savory teriyaki sauce, served over rice with a variety of fresh or cooked vegetables for a complete and balanced dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch mixed with 2 teaspoons water (slurry)
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add cornstarch slurry and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin-on) for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook another 3–4 minutes or until cooked through.
  4. Brush or pour teriyaki sauce over the salmon during the last minute of cooking or after removing from heat.
  5. Assemble bowls with rice as the base. Top with cooked salmon, steamed broccoli, shredded carrots, and avocado slices.
  6. Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce if desired. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use store-bought teriyaki sauce to save time.
  • Swap veggies based on preference—edamame, cucumber, or bell peppers work well.
  • Can be served warm or cold, making it great for meal prep.
  • Use cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
