Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

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 a budget-friendly option that still provides omega-3s.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Tamari is a gluten-free alternative that can be less expensive.

sesame seeds

🥗Healthier: pumpkin seeds

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Pumpkin seeds provide a similar crunch and flavor.

Use a rice cooker to prepare rice.

In a saucepan, combine ingredients for teriyaki sauce and let it bubble away.

Chop spring onions and slice cucumber.

Dress cucumber with sesame oil, sesame seeds, and mirin, then toss to combine.

Place greens in a bowl with a little water and microwave for 5-6 minutes to steam them.

In a hot pan, place salmon skin-side down and cook until ready to flip.

After flipping the salmon, add reduced teriyaki sauce and cook until sticky.

Serve salmon over bowls of rice with the prepared ingredients.
