Description
Delicious teriyaki salmon bowls served with sushi rice, broccoli, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons fresh ginger (minced)
- 1½ teaspoons fresh garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon honey (about 3 medium limes)
- 1 teaspoon avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons mirin
- 4 teaspoons garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup water (cold)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 16 ounces salmon (cut into 1/2 inch chunks)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons avocado oil
- 3 cups sushi rice
- 3 cups broccoli florets (steamed)
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, honey, oil, and mirin and bring to a simmer. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cold water and cornstarch, and then whisk it into the simmering sauce slowly. Bring back to a boil while whisking, then remove from the heat. Transfer sauce to a bowl and refrigerate until completely cooled.
- Prepare the salmon by removing any bones or skin. Pat the salmon dry with paper towels. Cut the salmon fillet into 1/2″ chunks and add to a bowl. Lightly season the salmon with salt and pepper, then add about 1/4 cup of the cooled teriyaki sauce to the raw salmon chunks, stirring to coat. Cover and refrigerate to marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Heat a cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat along with the avocado oil. Drain the marinade from the salmon, then add the salmon to the hot skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the skillet. Let the salmon cook for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat before turning, then continue to cook until the salmon is browned on both sides.
- Once cooked, remove salmon from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Add about half of the remaining teriyaki sauce to the salmon chunks and stir to coat. Cover until you’re ready to assemble the salmon bowls.
- Add about 1 cup of cooked rice to each serving bowl. Top with the teriyaki salmon, steamed broccoli, 1-2 tablespoons of additional teriyaki sauce, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- This dish can be easily customized with different vegetables.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet when cooking the salmon for even cooking.
