Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup mirin
  • 1/4 cup sake
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated

Salmon

  • 1 lb salmon fillets cut into portions

Bowl Assembly

  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions sliced

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, garlic, and ginger. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the same ingredients for the marinade and heat over medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the marinated salmon fillets onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Assemble the Bowl

  • Cook 2 cups of white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork.
  • Place a generous scoop of rice in each bowl. Top with a baked salmon fillet and drizzle extra teriyaki sauce over the top.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for added flavor and texture.

Serving

  • Serve the teriyaki salmon bowls immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Storage

  • Store any leftover salmon and rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving.
