Description
A sweet and savory teriyaki-glazed salmon bowl layered with creamy avocado, crunchy cucumber, and fluffy rice for the perfect weeknight meal.
Ingredients
2 salmon fillets, skin removed and cut into cubes
2 cups cooked white rice (or jasmine rice)
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water (slurry)
Instructions
1. In a saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer.
2. Add the cornstarch slurry and stir until the sauce thickens. Set aside.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add cubed salmon and sear for 2-3 minutes per side.
4. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and stir to coat. Simmer for 1-2 minutes.
5. Divide rice into bowls and top with glazed salmon, cucumber, avocado, and green onions.
6. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Notes
Do not overcook salmon; keep it tender inside.
Teriyaki sauce should be thick enough to coat salmon without running.
Use ripe avocados and slice cucumbers fresh for maximum texture.
