Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1 cup brown rice

2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup sliced bell peppers (preferably a mix of red and yellow for color)

½ cup shredded carrots

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

¼ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

2 green onions, finely chopped for garnish

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Brown Rice:

    Begin by rinsing the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water or chicken broth. Add a pinch of salt for flavor. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and let it simmer for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed. Once cooked, fluff the rice gently with a fork and set it aside.

      Prepare the Vegetables:

        Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and shredded carrots to the skillet. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender yet still crisp. Season with a dash of salt and pepper to taste. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.

          Cook the Salmon:

            In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and turn the heat up to medium-high. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the fillets in the skillet skin-side down and allow them to sear for about 4-5 minutes, letting the skin crisp up. Carefully flip the fillets, then pour ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce over the top. Continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, spooning some of the sauce over the fillets, until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

              Assemble the Bowls:

                To assemble the bowls, start by placing a generous scoop of the cooked brown rice at the base of each serving bowl. Top the rice with a portion of the sautéed vegetables, followed by a salmon fillet. For an extra burst of flavor, you can drizzle a little more teriyaki sauce over the top if desired.

                  Garnish and Serve:

                    Finish your beautiful bowls by sprinkling sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for added texture and flavor. Serve the bowls warm and enjoy your delightful, homemade Teriyaki Salmon Bowls!
