Ingredients:

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

1 teaspoon sesame seeds

1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for added flavor)

For the Sushi Bowl:



2 cups cooked sushi rice or brown rice

1 cup shredded carrots

1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced

1 avocado, sliced

1 cup edamame, cooked and shelled

1/2 cup pickled ginger (optional)

2 tablespoons chopped scallions

1 tablespoon soy sauce or extra teriyaki sauce, for drizzling

Fresh cilantro or sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions:

Prepare the Teriyaki Salmon:



Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce with honey if using. Brush the salmon fillets with the teriyaki glaze and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. If desired, drizzle with a bit of sesame oil for extra flavor. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.

Prepare the Sushi Bowl Ingredients:



While the salmon is baking, cook the rice according to package instructions if you haven’t already done so. Allow it to cool slightly before using.

Slice the cucumber, shred the carrots, and slice the avocado. Cook and shell the edamame if not using pre-cooked.

Assemble the Sushi Bowl:



Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, avocado, and edamame.

Flake the teriyaki salmon into bite-sized pieces and place on top of the vegetables and rice.

Add a small portion of pickled ginger if using. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce or soy sauce, and garnish with chopped scallions, fresh cilantro, or extra sesame seeds.

Serve and Enjoy:



Serve the sushi bowls immediately, allowing each person to mix and enjoy the flavors together. The combination of tender salmon, crisp vegetables, and savory teriyaki sauce creates a satisfying and well-balanced meal.
