How to Make Teriyaki Glazed Salmon Bowl

  • 1 cup bok choy or baby spinach, sautéed or steamed
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (white and/or black)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Directions:

  1. Make the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. In a separate bowl, mix cornstarch and water, then stir into the saucepan. Simmer over medium heat until thickened.

  2. Cook the Salmon: Season the salmon with a pinch of salt. Sear in a skillet over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, until cooked through. Brush with teriyaki sauce during the final minutes.
