Ingredients

For the Salmon

• 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar or lemon juice
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ teaspoon ginger (fresh or powdered)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Bowl

• 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
• 1 cup steamed broccoli
• ½ cup sliced cucumber
• ½ cup shredded carrots
• ½ avocado, sliced (optional)
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
• Fresh green onions for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Sauce

In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Stir well until smooth. Set aside.

2. Cook the Salmon

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down (if skin is on) and cook for 3–4 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 2–3 minutes. Pour the teriyaki sauce mix into the pan and cook until sauce thickens and coats the salmon. Tip: Spoon sauce over the salmon while cooking to add flavor.

3. Prepare the Bowl

Place cooked rice into bowls. Arrange broccoli, carrots, and cucumbers around the rice. Add avocado for creaminess if you like.

4. Add the Salmon

Place the glazed salmon on top of the rice and vegetables. Drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the bowl.

5. Garnish

Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.

Health Benefits

Teriyaki Salmon Bowls offer a strong mix of nutrition and taste. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart and brain health. It also provides lean protein to keep you full and help build muscle. Vegetables like broccoli and carrots add vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. Using honey instead of heavy sugar makes the sauce lighter. When paired with brown rice or quinoa, this meal becomes a balanced and complete dish that helps boost energy and digestion.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this bowl warm for best taste. It works well for lunch, dinner, or even meal prep. You can double the recipe and store extra salmon and veggies in separate containers. Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat salmon in the pan or air fryer for better texture. You can also serve it with:

• Miso soup
• Fresh salad with ginger dressing
• Steamed edamame
• Roasted vegetables
