Ingredients
  

For the Bowls
  • 4 fillets salmon fillets skin on or off
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce plus more for drizzling
  • 3 cups cooked rice white or brown
  • 3 cups broccoli florets steamed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Medium Pot

Method
 

  1. Cook your rice first if it is not already prepared. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to help them brown properly.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place salmon skin side down and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the edges turn opaque and the bottom is golden.
  4. Flip the salmon carefully. Spoon teriyaki sauce over the top and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  5. Steam the broccoli until bright green and just tender while the salmon finishes cooking.
  6. Assemble the bowls by dividing rice into serving bowls, topping with salmon and steamed broccoli. Drizzle extra teriyaki sauce over the top before serving.

Notes

For an even faster dinner, use microwave rice packets. You can swap broccoli with green beans or snap peas. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or extra teriyaki sauce to keep the salmon moist.
