  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

4 salmon filets (56 ounces each)

3 cups cooked brown or white rice (can substitute cooked quinoa or cauliflower rice)

2 cups chopped cucumber

1 cup shelled edamame, cooked and cooled

1 cup shredded or julienned carrots

1 medium avocado, sliced

2 green onions, thinly sliced

Sesame seeds for garnish (optional)

Β½ cup coconut aminos (or tamari/low-sodium soy sauce)

ΒΌ cup honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

3 garlic cloves, minced (about 1 tablespoon)

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or Β½ teaspoon dried ginger)

1 Β½ tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons warm water

Instructions

1-First, begin by placing the salmon filets in a shallow dish. This sets the stage for marinating and infuses the fish with great taste right from the start.

2-Next, make the sauce by whisking together the coconut aminos or substitute, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until the honey dissolves smoothly.

3-Marinate the salmon by pouring β…“ cup of the sauce over the filets, flipping them to skin side up, and let it sit for a bit.

4-Preheat your oven broiler and line a baking sheet with foil to make cleanup simple. Then, place the salmon skin side down on the baking sheet and discard any leftover marinade before broiling for 7-8 minutes until it flakes easily with a fork.

5-While the salmon broils, thicken the remaining sauce in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk the cornstarch with warm water to make a slurry, then gradually add it to the simmering sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

6-For the assembly, divide ΒΎ cup of cooked rice among 4 bowls and top each with a salmon filet.

7-Evenly distribute the cucumber, carrots, edamame, and avocado slices over the bowls for a colorful finish.

8-Finally, drizzle each bowl with 2 tablespoons of the thickened teriyaki sauce and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if you like.
