Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
A delicious and healthy meal featuring tender salmon, flavorful teriyaki sauce, and crispy Brussels sprouts served over rice.
Ingredients
For the Salmon and Bowl
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170g each)
- 2 cups cooked rice (brown, jasmine, or cauliflower rice)
- Sliced green onions For garnish
- Sesame seeds For garnish
- Extra teriyaki sauce, for drizzling
For the Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- 400 g Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
For the Teriyaki Sauce
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water To thicken the sauce
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the Brussels sprouts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them cut-side down on the baking sheet and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy.
Cooking the Sauce
- In a saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Simmer the mixture over medium heat, then stir in the cornstarch slurry.
- Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Cooking the Salmon
- Pat the salmon fillets dry and season them with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon skin-side down for 3–4 minutes until nicely browned. Flip the salmon and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes.
- Brush the salmon with teriyaki sauce and cook for an additional 30 seconds until it becomes sticky and caramelized.
Assembling the Bowls
- Assemble the bowls by adding cooked rice to each bowl. Top with roasted Brussels sprouts and salmon. Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for deeper flavor if desired. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
