Easy Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar + sugar mimics the sweetness and acidity of mirin.

salmon fillets

🥗Healthier: trout

💰Cheaper: canned salmon

Canned salmon is more affordable and still nutritious.

sesame seeds

🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds provide a similar crunch at a lower cost.

nori

💰Cheaper: seaweed snacks

Seaweed snacks are often cheaper and easier to find.

Prepare rice according to package instructions and set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sugar, ginger, and garlic. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves, about 3-4 minutes.

Marinate salmon fillets in the sauce for at least 15 minutes.

Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat.

Remove salmon from marinade and grill or sauté for 4-5 minutes per side until cooked through and caramelized.

While salmon cooks, steam broccoli, carrots, and edamame until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Slice green onions and set aside for garnish.

To assemble, place a serving of rice in each bowl.

Top rice with grilled salmon, steamed vegetables, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

Add strips of nori on the side or on top for garnish.

Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the bowls before serving.
