Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowls
INGREDIENTS
*NOTE: Prep time does not include marinating time*

  1. 1 tablespoon oil
  2. 4 salmon filets, skinless
  3. 1 clove garlic, minced
  4. ½ teaspoon ginger, minced
  5. ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (It is important to use low sodium. I find regular makes the sauce too salty)
  6. ⅛ cup water
  7. 2-3 tablespoons brown sugar (depending on how sweet you like it)
  8. 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  9. 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  10. 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  11. 1 tablespoon water
  12. green onions for garnish, if desired
  13. sesame seeds for garnish, if desired


INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add garlic, ginger, soy sauce, ⅛ cup water, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil to a medium bowl.
  • Add half of the marinade to a ziplock bag and the other half to a small saucepan and set aside.
  • Place salmon filets in the ziplock bag and marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet. Add salmon filets making sure not to overcrowd pan (I had to cook two at a time).
  • Cook 3-4 minutes on each side until desired doneness.
  • Meanwhile heat the reserved marinade in the saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Slowly whisk in the cornstarch mixture to the marinade and simmer until thickened.
  • Serve immediately with the teriyaki sauce drizzled on top as well as green onions and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
