Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

2 bowls

Ingredients for Teriyaki Sauce

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons mirin sweet cooking rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sake or sherry
• 1 1/2 teaspoons honey
• 1 1/2 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoons cornstarch

Ingredients for the Bowl

• 2 salmon fillets, 4-6 oz. each
• 1 cups cooked rice white or brown Jasmine
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 avocado sliced
• 1/4 cup edamame shelled (fresh or frozen(thawed))
• 1 carrot, grated (I used matchstick carrots)
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds white or black, toasted
• 1 sheet Nori or roasted seaweed snack
• 1 green onion, sliced (white and green parts)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F. Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and set aside.

In a small pan over medium heat, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sake and honey. While mixture is heating, whisk together in a separate small bowl cornstarch and water. Add cornstarch mixture to soy sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and continue to stir frequently until teriyaki reaches desired thickness (about 2-3 minutes).

Place salmon fillets (skin side down) on prepared baking sheet, brush (or spoon) with teriyaki sauce . Reserving any unused teriyaki sauce to drizzle over finished bowl. Place salmon in oven and cook for 12- 15 minutes, until pink . The salmon will continue to cook for a few minutes once removed from the oven so take this into account when cooking. Allow to cool for a few minutes . Remove and discard the skin.

While salmon is cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil (or water) and cook spinach until it wilts (2-3 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.

In a pan or microwave, heat up edamame until warm.

Cut the seaweed into thin slices, about 1 inch long and 1/8 inch wide. Slice the green onions. Toast the sesame seeds.

To assemble bowls, heat up cooked rice and divide between bowls. Top with salmon, spinach, carrots, edamame, avocado, sesame seeds, green onions and seaweed strips. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over bowl, if desired.
