TIPS FOR TERIYAKI SALMON BROWN RICE
- Perfectly Cooked Salmon: Avoid overcooking the salmon to keep it tender and moist. Cook until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Enhance Flavour: Marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce for 10-15 minutes before grilling for deeper flavour.
- Vegetable Substitutes: Swap broccoli for asparagus, snow peas, or bok choy for variety.
- Gluten-Free Option: Ensure the teriyaki sauce is gluten-free if necessary.
- Crispy Texture: Lightly sear the salmon in a pan instead of grilling for a crispier finish.
VARIATIONS
- Spicy Kick: Add a drizzle of sriracha or sprinkle chilli flakes for extra heat.
- Extra Protein: Include a soft-boiled egg or edamame for additional protein.
- Low-Carb Version: Substitute brown rice with cauliflower rice or quinoa.
- Crunchy Toppings: Add crushed peanuts or crispy seaweed for extra texture.
- Citrus Twist: A squeeze of fresh lime or orange juice can brighten the dish.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Meal Prep Tip: Prepare rice and vegetables ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
- Freezing: Not recommended, as salmon and vegetables taste fresher.
