Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

Teriyaki Salmon Bowl is so simple to put together. Heart healthy salmon (or sub chicken) gets smothered in homemade teriyaki sauce and is served over jasmine rice with sautéed spinach, carrots, avocado slices and edamame. A few strips of nori and a sprinkle of sesame seeds give it that extra punch of Asian flavor.

For the Salmon

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

For the bowl

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.

Add cornstarch mixture to soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to stir frequently until teriyaki reaches desired thickness (about 2-3 min.)
  • Place salmon fillets (skin side down) on prepared baking sheet, brush ( or spoon) with teriyaki sauce . Reserving any unused teriyaki sauce to drizzle over finished bowl. Place salmon in oven and cook for approx. 12- 15 min. until pink . The salmon will continue to cook for a few minutes once removed from the oven so take this into account when cooking. Allow to cool for a few minutes . Remove and discard the skin.
  • While salmon is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil (or water) and cook spinach until it wilts (approx. 2-3 min.) season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • To assemble bowls, heat up cooked rice and divide between bowls. Top with salmon, spinach, carrot, edamame, avocado, sesame seeds, green onions and Nori strips. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over bowl if desired.
