Ingredients
  

For the Salmon
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillets skin-on or off
  • 0.5 cup teriyaki sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
For the Bowls
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets
  • 0.5 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds for garnish
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onions for garnish

Method
 

  1. Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. In a shallow dish, whisk together teriyaki sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and black pepper. Add salmon and marinate for 5-10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients.
  2. Preheat a large non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky. You can also broil the salmon for 7-10 minutes.
  3. While the salmon cooks, steam the broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes. You can also microwave them for convenience.
  4. Divide the cooked brown rice (or quinoa) among four serving bowls. Top each with a portion of cooked salmon, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots.
  5. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce from the pan over the salmon and vegetables. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, reduce some of the leftover marinade in a small saucepan until it thickens slightly, then drizzle over the finished bowls. If you're short on time, use pre-cooked rice packets. Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the salmon; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and a good sear.
