PREPARATION FOR TERIYAKI SALMON BROWN RICE BOWL

  • Prepare The Rice: Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Cook according to package instructions until tender. Let it cool slightly before serving.
  • Marinate The Salmon: Pat the salmon fillet dry and coat it lightly with half of the teriyaki sauce. Allow it to marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavours.
  • Grill The Salmon: Heat a non-stick grill pan over medium heat. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Let it rest before flaking into bite-sized pieces.
  • Steam The Broccoli: Steam the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until tender yet crisp. Avoid overcooking to preserve nutrients and maintain its vibrant green colour.
  • Assemble The Bowl: Add the cooked brown rice as a base. Arrange the grilled salmon, steamed broccoli, and shredded carrots on top, ensuring even distribution for a balanced bite in every spoonful.
  • Drizzle With Teriyaki sauce: Pour the remaining teriyaki sauce over the ingredients for extra flavour and moisture.
  • Garnish And Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and spring onions if using. Serve immediately and enjoy a well-balanced, protein-rich meal.

TIPS FOR TERIYAKI SALMON BROWN RICE BOWL

  • Marinate For Flavour: Let the salmon sit in the teriyaki sauce for at least 10 minutes to deepen the taste.
  • Prepare Rice In Advance: Cooking brown rice ahead of time saves effort and enhances texture.
  • Use A Non-Stick Pan: Lightly oil the grill pan to prevent the salmon from sticking.
  • Low-Sodium Option: Opt for a low-sodium teriyaki sauce to keep the dish heart-healthy.
  • Perfectly Steamed Broccoli: Steam broccoli just until tender to retain nutrients and colour.
  • Crispier Salmon: For a crispier finish, broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking.
  • Extra Texture: Toasted sesame seeds add crunch and enhance the nutty flavour of the dish.

VARIATIONS IN TERIYAKI SALMON BROWN RICE BOWL

  • Low-Carb Option: Swap brown rice for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb alternative.
  • Extra Protein: Add a soft-boiled egg or tofu to increase protein content.
  • Gluten-Free Alternative: Ensure you use gluten-free teriyaki sauce.
  • Spicy Kick: Drizzle sriracha or sprinkle red pepper flakes for extra heat.
  • Citrus Twist: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the dish before serving for a refreshing zing.
  • Nutty Flavour: Add a handful of chopped cashews or almonds for added crunch and richness.
  • Extra Greens: Toss in steamed spinach, bok choy, or edamame for an extra veggie boost.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Keeping the rice and salmon separate helps maintain texture when reheating.
  • Freezing: Freeze cooked salmon and rice separately for up to 1 month. Avoid freezing fresh vegetables, as they may become mushy upon thawing.
  • Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, adding a splash of water or extra teriyaki sauce to prevent dryness. For best results, reheat the salmon in a pan for a few minutes to retain its texture.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Prepare individual portions in meal prep containers for quick, ready-to-eat meals throughout the week.
