Gather these items before you start. They will make your cooking process faster and easier. Enjoy the fresh flavors and the joy of cooking this meal! First, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. This adds flavor and enhances the dish. Use fresh salmon if possible for the best taste. Next, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 cup of broccoli florets and 1/2 sliced red bell pepper. Sauté these for about 5 minutes. You want them tender but still crisp. This step brings out their bright colors and fresh taste. Now, push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add the seasoned salmon fillets to the pan. Pour 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Check for doneness by seeing if the salmon flakes easily with a fork. This means it is ready to eat. In a bowl, layer 1/2 cup of cooked jasmine rice at the bottom. Next, place the sautéed vegetables next to the rice. Finally, add the teriyaki salmon fillet on top. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce from the skillet over the bowl. This ties all the flavors together. To finish, sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the bowl. This adds a nice crunch and fresh flavor. You can serve the bowl hot or warm for the best experience. Enjoy your meal! To achieve a flaky texture, cook the salmon on medium heat. This helps it cook evenly. Avoid flipping it too soon. Let it be for about 4-5 minutes on each side. To avoid overcooking, keep an eye on the color. When it turns light pink, it’s done. If you want a homemade teriyaki sauce, mix soy sauce, honey, and ginger. This gives a fresh taste. You can also try adding garlic or chili flakes for heat. These extra touches make the flavor pop. To save time, prep all ingredients first. Chop veggies and season the salmon before cooking. You can also use pre-cooked jasmine rice. It cuts down cooking time and gives you a quick meal. {{image_2}} You can switch out salmon for chicken or tofu. If you choose chicken, use boneless thighs or breasts. Cook the chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side. If you prefer tofu, use firm tofu for best results. Sear the tofu for about 3-4 minutes on each side until it's golden. Adjust the cooking time to ensure everything cooks evenly. Feel free to mix in other veggies. Carrots, snap peas, or zucchini work great. For a seasonal touch, add asparagus in spring or squash in fall. This way, you can enjoy fresh flavors year-round. Just remember to cut your veggies into even pieces for even cooking. You can spice things up by adding ginger or garlic. A dash of chili flakes brings heat, while lime juice adds tang. Try different teriyaki sauces too. Some brands have a sweet side, while others are more savory. Taste as you go to find your perfect balance. To keep your teriyaki salmon rice bowls fresh, use airtight containers. Glass or plastic containers work well. Make sure the bowls cool down before sealing them. This helps prevent moisture buildup. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to three days. If you want to save them longer, freezing is a good option. You can reheat your rice bowls in the microwave or on the stove. For the microwave, place the bowl in and cover it with a damp paper towel. Heat for 1-2 minutes, checking often. On the stove, put the bowl in a skillet over low heat. Stir gently until warm. This method keeps the salmon from drying out. Always check the salmon to ensure it’s heated through without becoming tough. Yes, you can freeze teriyaki salmon rice bowls. For best results, freeze them without the toppings. This keeps the texture nice. Wrap each bowl tightly in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag. When you’re ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat gently as mentioned above to keep everything tasty. Yes, you can use brown rice. Brown rice adds a nutty flavor and more fiber. Just remember, it takes longer to cook than jasmine rice. Follow the cooking time on the brown rice package. The texture will change a bit, but it’s still tasty! You can swap teriyaki sauce with soy sauce or hoisin sauce. For a sweeter taste, mix soy sauce with honey or maple syrup. You can also make a quick homemade teriyaki sauce using soy sauce, sugar, and ginger. Cooked salmon lasts about 3 to 4 days in the fridge. Make sure to store it in an airtight container. This keeps the salmon fresh and tasty for your next meal. Yes, this recipe is great for meal prep.
