Ingredients
4 salmon filets (5–6 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.
