Ingredients
  

1 lb fresh salmon fillets

½ cup low-sodium soy sauce

¼ cup honey or maple syrup

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups cooked jasmine rice (or brown rice for a healthier option)

1 cup broccoli florets (steamed or blanched)

½ cup shredded carrots

¼ cup green onions, sliced

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. This mixture will serve as your flavorful teriyaki marinade.

    Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets into a shallow dish or a resealable zip-top bag. Pour half of the prepared teriyaki marinade over the salmon, ensuring that each fillet is evenly coated. Cover the dish or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour for a deeper flavor infusion.

      Cook the Salmon: Preheat your grill or a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and season it lightly with salt and pepper. Grill or sauté the salmon for approximately 4-5 minutes on each side, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Brush the salmon with the remaining marinade while cooking to enhance the flavor.

        Prepare the Rice Bowls: Concurrently, cook your jasmine rice according to package directions. Once done, fluff the rice with a fork to keep it light and airy, then set aside.

          Assemble the Bowls: In individual serving bowls, start by adding a generous scoop of jasmine rice at the base. Layer steamed broccoli and shredded carrots on top for added color and nutrition. Flake the cooked salmon generously over the vegetables and rice.

            Garnish: If desired, drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over each bowl for an extra burst of flavor. Top with sliced green onions and sprinkle with sesame seeds for a delightful crunch and added visual appeal.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls warm, allowing everyone to mix and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors to their liking. Delight in your healthy and scrumptious teriyaki salmon rice bowls!
