Ingredients
  

2 (6 oz) salmon fillets

1 cup uncooked jasmine rice

1 ½ cups water

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

½ cup shredded carrots

3 green onions, chopped

¼ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water appears clear. This helps remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 1 ½ cups of water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for approximately 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Once cooked, remove from heat and keep it covered for an additional 5 minutes to allow it to steam.

    Prepare the Vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, toss in the broccoli florets and snap peas. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften but still retain a crisp texture. Add the shredded carrots along with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Continue cooking for another 2 minutes until all the vegetables are tender yet crisp. Remove the skillet from the heat and set the sautéed vegetables aside.

      Cook the Salmon: In the same skillet, add the sesame oil and increase the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Carefully flip the salmon using a spatula, and brush the top with half of the teriyaki sauce. Continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily when tested with a fork. (Note: Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.)

        Assemble the Bowls: Once the rice is ready, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains. Divide the rice evenly among your serving bowls. Top each bowl with an equal portion of the sautéed vegetables and one salmon fillet. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce generously over the salmon and vegetables for added flavor.

          Garnish: Finish each bowl by sprinkling chopped green onions on top and adding sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy your mouthwatering teriyaki salmon bowls!
