Ingredients

  • 2 fillets salmon
  • 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 0.5 cup sliced carrots
  • 0.5 cup snap peas
  • 2 pieces green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the Vegetables: Start by steaming the broccoli, carrots, and snap peas together until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Cook the Salmon: In a skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add Teriyaki Sauce: Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and glazes the salmon beautifully.
  4. Prepare the Rice Bowl: In a serving bowl, layer the jasmine rice as the base. Arrange the steamed vegetables on top of the rice and then place the teriyaki-glazed salmon fillets on the vegetables.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Drizzle rice vinegar over the entire dish for an extra kick. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish. Serve warm.
