Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fresh skinless salmon fillets
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (low-sodium preferred)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1. Cook the Rice: Rinse brown rice under cold water until clear. In a pot, combine rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes until tender.
  2. 2. Prepare the Salmon: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillets on one side and drizzle with teriyaki sauce. Bake for 12-15 minutes until flaky.
  3. 3. Sauté the Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Toss in broccoli and carrots; sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. 4. Assemble Bowls: Scoop cooked rice into bowls, top with salmon pieces and sautéed veggies. Drizzle extra teriyaki sauce as desired.
  5. 5. Finish With Toppings: Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.

Keywords: For added flavor, marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking. Swap salmon for tofu or chicken as desired. Mix seasonal vegetables for variety.
