Ingredients
Rice Bowls
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1¼ cups water
Sauce
- ⅓ cup Teriyaki sauce
- 1½ tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (unseasoned)
- 1½ tbs chili paste (Sambal Oelek)
- 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
- ½ teaspoon ginger powder
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 3 tablespoon water
Salmon/Toppings
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 cup baby carrots (sliced in half lengthwise)
- 10 ounces salmon (cubed in 2" chunks)
- 1½ tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (toasted)
Instructions
Rice
- Heat oil in a small saucepan. Add sesame seeds and toast until fragrant.
- Next, wash and drain the rice, then add it to the saucepan. Stir to coat the rice with sesame oil before adding water and salt. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then cover and simmer over very low heat for 20 minutes. Stir halfway through the cooking time.
Sauce
- While the rice is cooking, whisk teriyaki sauce, honey, rice wine vinegar, and chili paste into a small bowl or measuring cup. Add crushed garlic, ginger powder, cornstarch, and water. Whisk until smooth and set aside until needed.
Steam Vegetables
- Pour ¼ cup of water over the broccoli and carrots. Microwave for 2 minutes or steam until still firm and slightly crunchy. Drain the water and set the vegetables aside until needed.
Cook Salmon
- Toss salmon with sesame oil, then sear in a heated skillet. Carefully turn the cubed salmon with tongs until the salmon begins to cook (approximately 2 minutes).
- Pour sauce into the pan and spoon over the salmon for 1 minute. Add steamed vegetables and cook for an additional minute or until the salmon is cooked through.
How to Serve
- Divide the rice between 2 bowls and top with Salmon and vegetables. Drizzle additional sauce over each bowl and sprinkle with toasted black sesame seeds. Enjoy your Teriyaki Salmon bowls!
Notes
- To make your Buddha Bowl even healthier, serve the salmon over brown rice or quinoa.
- Another option is to bake the salmon instead of preparing it in a skillet. To do this, bake the basted or marinated salmon in a 400 oven for approximately 15 minutes.
- Salmon Bowls are sometimes garnished with shredded cabbage. Instead of plain shredded cabbage, try adding my healthy Oil and Vinegar Coleslaw instead.
- Other great vegetable options include edamame beans, sliced avocado, shredded raw carrots, and sliced cucumbers.
