Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 4 ounces salmon, cooked and flaked
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1 hard-boiled egg, sliced
- 1/2 cup carrots, julienned
- 1/2 cup edamame, shelled
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Cook 1 cup of rice according to package instructions until it’s fluffy and fully cooked. Set aside.
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using) until well combined.
- Cook the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into chunks. Season with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, add a little oil. Cook the salmon chunks for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and lightly browned.
- Simmer the Salmon in Teriyaki Sauce: Pour half of the prepared teriyaki sauce over the cooked salmon in the skillet. Allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes, allowing the salmon to absorb the flavors of the sauce and ensuring it’s well-seasoned. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
- Prepare the Ingredients: Slice the avocado and hard-boiled egg. Julienne the carrots and shell the edamame if necessary.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among serving bowls. Arrange the cooked salmon chunks, sliced avocado, hard-boiled egg slices, julienned carrots, and shelled edamame on top of the rice.
- Drizzle with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the remaining homemade teriyaki sauce over the assembled bowls. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
- Serve: Serve the teriyaki salmon rice bowls immediately, and enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
