A quick and satisfying dinner recipe featuring salmon glazed with homemade teriyaki sauce, served over rice with creamy avocado and fresh veggies.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 minced garlic clove
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup steamed broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Optional toppings: pickled ginger, sriracha or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Rinse 1 cup jasmine or brown rice under cold water until clear. Add to pot with 1 1/4 cups water, bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes (jasmine) or 40 minutes (brown rice). Remove from heat and steam with lid on for 10 minutes. Fluff with fork.
  2. Make the teriyaki sauce: Whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Cook the salmon: Heat sesame oil in skillet over medium heat. Pat salmon dry and place skin-side down if skin-on. Cook 4-5 minutes until crispy, flip, pour teriyaki sauce over fillets, and simmer 4-5 minutes, spooning sauce over salmon until cooked through and glaze thickens.
  4. Prepare veggies: Steam broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp. Shred carrots and slice green onions. Slice avocado just before serving.
  5. Assemble bowls: Divide rice between bowls, top with broccoli, carrots, salmon, avocado slices, green onions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle extra glaze from pan over bowls.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before cooking to get a good sear. Pour teriyaki sauce only after flipping salmon to prevent burning. Slice avocado last to avoid browning. If glaze thickens too much, stir in a splash of water to loosen. Use fresh ginger for best flavor. Leftovers keep well for 2 days; store avocado separately.
