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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
