Ingredients:
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons mirin
- 2 tablespoons sake (or dry white wine)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon water (optional, for thickening)
- 4 salmon fillets
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for cooking
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas), sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked white rice
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Sliced green onions, for garnish
- Pickled ginger (optional)
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the teriyaki sauce. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- If desired, whisk in the cornstarch slurry to thicken the sauce. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets to the skillet, skin side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
- Flip the salmon fillets and brush the tops generously with teriyaki sauce. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is cooking, heat vegetable oil in a separate skillet or wok over high heat for stir-frying the vegetables.
- Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until they are crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To assemble the rice bowls, divide cooked white rice among serving bowls. Top each bowl with teriyaki-glazed salmon fillets and stir-fried vegetables.
- Drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over the salmon and vegetables.
- Garnish the rice bowls with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with pickled ginger on the side, if desired.
- Enjoy your flavorful and satisfying teriyaki salmon rice bowls, a delicious fusion of Japanese flavors that will transport you to the bustling streets of Tokyo with every bite!
