Ingredients
  

For the Teriyaki Salmon:

4 salmon fillets (approximately 6 ounces each)

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (for sweetness)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar (for acidity)

1 tablespoon sesame oil (for richness)

2 cloves garlic, minced (for flavor)

1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (for freshness)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)

For the Broccoli Rice:

3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen works well)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (for added flavor)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1/2 lemon (for brightness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until the mixture is well-combined and smooth. Set aside half of this sauce to use for drizzling later.

    Marinate the Salmon: In a shallow dish, arrange the salmon fillets and pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over them, ensuring all pieces are coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping the fillets halfway through to ensure even flavor absorption.

      Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the salmon fillets from the marinade (discard the used marinade). Place the fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is thoroughly cooked and flakes easily when tested with a fork. In the final minute of cooking, drizzle the reserved teriyaki sauce over the salmon to glaze it beautifully.

        Make the Broccoli Rice: While the salmon is cooking, process the broccoli florets in a food processor until they resemble small rice grains. In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli rice, followed by garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender yet bright green. Remove from heat and mix in the lemon juice for an added layer of flavor.

          Serve: To plate, create a bed of broccoli rice on each plate. Place the glazed teriyaki salmon fillets on top. Garnish with optional sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Drizzle with any reserved teriyaki sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
