Ingredients:
For the Teriyaki Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each), skin-on or skinless
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin (Japanese rice wine)
- 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shelled edamame, cooked
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Thinly sliced green onions, for garnish
- Pickled ginger, for serving (optional)
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, honey or brown sugar, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and minced garlic to make the teriyaki marinade.
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the teriyaki marinade over the salmon, making sure to coat each fillet evenly. Cover the dish or seal the bag, and let the salmon marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
- Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and caramelized on the outside.
- While the salmon is cooking, transfer the reserved marinade to a small saucepan. Bring the marinade to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly into a glaze.
- Remove the salmon from the skillet and brush each fillet with the teriyaki glaze.
- To assemble the bowls, divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with cooked edamame, thinly sliced cucumber, sliced avocado, and a teriyaki-glazed salmon fillet.
- Garnish the bowls with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions.
- Serve the Japanese-Inspired Teriyaki Salmon Bowls hot, with pickled ginger on the side if desired.
- Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying salmon bowls, a delicious fusion of Japanese flavors that will transport you to the vibrant streets of Tokyo with every bite!
