Print Recipe

Savor a healthy Teriyaki Salmon Bowl with marinated salmon fillets served over fluffy rice and colorful stir-fried vegetables. This flavorful dish is easy to customize, making it an ideal choice for a quick weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 carrot, julienned
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, pour in the teriyaki sauce. Place the salmon fillets in the bowl, ensuring they are well-coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to a couple of hours for enhanced flavor.
  2. Cook the rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork and mix in a teaspoon of sesame oil and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
  3. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli, snap peas, red bell pepper, and carrot. Stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the marinated salmon fillets, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the edges turn opaque, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  5. In each bowl, place a scoop of rice, followed by a portion of stir-fried vegetables, and top with a salmon fillet. Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce if desired. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  6. Serve warm, with optional toppings like sliced avocado, pickled ginger, or a soft-boiled egg. Offer extra teriyaki sauce on the side.

Notes

  • Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat rice and vegetables in the microwave, and salmon in a skillet to prevent drying out.
  • Substitute salmon with chicken or tofu, and feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or bok choy.
