Salmon is always good for a quick, healthy and tasty meal. And it’s quite versatile, going in everything from tacos to pasta to soup. But, because of Alpana’s addiction to soy sauce, we most often have it with some Asian theme. And out of all of the Asian salmon recipes, these teriyaki bowls are my personal favorite.
Ingredients
Salmon – I always use fresh salmon, somehow frozen salmon never seemed that tasty to me. If sockeye salmon is in season, I use that. I leave the skin on, but feel free to use skinless if that’s what you prefer. Teriyaki sauce – Soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, cornstarch and water. Grain – I am using white rice today, but often mix it up with brown rice, fried rice, or quinoa. Vegetable – Either broccoli or edamame are my top picks. Carrots, avocado, shredded purple cabbage and cooked kale also go well. Pick one or more. Fruit – I like something a little sweet in there. When they’re in season, I use mangos, otherwise pineapple.
Teriyaki Salmon Recipe
Like I said, this is a really quick and easy recipe. You ready? First, I start cooking the rice (or other grain), and whip up the teriyaki sauce. It’s just a matter of whisking all of the sauce ingredients together in a bowl. If my chosen veggie requires cooking, I get that going, too. Next, I rub a little oil on the flesh side of the salmon and sprinkle on a little salt and pepper. Then I heat some more oil in a skillet and sear the skin side of the salmon for 4-5 minutes. After that, I flip it over and cook for another 3-4 minutes. I give it one more flip, so the skin side is down, and pour the sauce all over the salmon. I let the sauce simmer for a few minutes to thicken up. To serve, I divide the rice among four bowls, or containers if I’m doing meal prep. I then top the rice with salmon and the other ingredients. For today, I am using broccoli and mango. I also like to remove the skin from the salmon before adding it to the bowls. So there you go, a quick and easy bowl meal. My family loves it, and I bet yours will too. If you try this recipe, please leave a star rating and comment, we love to hear from you.
