Ingredients
4 salmon fillets
1 cup teriyaki sauce
2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups broccoli florets
2 cups sliced carrots
2 tablespoons sesame seeds for garnish
Green onions for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- Marinate the Salmon: In a bowl, combine the salmon fillets with teriyaki sauce. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Salmon: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the salmon is baking, steam the broccoli and carrots until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
- Assemble the Bowls: In meal prep containers, layer cooked brown rice, steamed broccoli, and carrots. Top with the baked salmon fillets.
- Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for added flavor and presentation.
Key Prep Tips
- Use Fresh Salmon: Opt for skin-on fillets for added flavor and to keep the salmon moist during cooking.
- Homemade Teriyaki Sauce: Prepare your own sauce using soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and a splash of sesame oil for a healthier, customizable option.
- Bake or Pan-Sear: Bake the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes or pan-sear it for a crisp exterior.
- Veggies and Rice Prep: Cook vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or carrots until tender-crisp and pair with jasmine, brown rice, or quinoa.
Suggested Variations
- Low-Carb Option: Replace rice with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a lighter meal.
- Spice It Up: Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha to the teriyaki sauce for extra heat.
- Additional Toppings: Sprinkle with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for garnish.
- Alternative Proteins: Use tofu, shrimp, or chicken for variety.
Serving Suggestions
- Meal Prep Ready: Divide the salmon, veggies, and rice into individual containers for an easy grab-and-go lunch or dinner.
- Beverages: Pair with green tea or a cucumber-infused sparkling water for a refreshing accompaniment.
- Presentation: Serve in bowls with the salmon on top of the rice and vegetables, drizzled with extra teriyaki sauce for a polished look.
