Ingredients

For the Salmon:

• 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

• ¼ cup soy sauce

• ¼ cup honey

• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

• 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)

For the Bowls:

• 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)

• 1 cup steamed broccoli florets

• 1 cup shredded carrots

• 1 avocado, sliced

• ¼ cup green onions, chopped

• Sesame seeds for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Salmon:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the salmon under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the fillets on a lined baking sheet.

2. Make the Teriyaki Sauce:
   In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk these ingredients together until well mixed. Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring it to a gentle simmer. Once it simmers, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook for an additional 1–2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Cook the Salmon:
   Brush each salmon fillet generously with the teriyaki sauce. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the salmon for about 12–15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Optionally, brush the salmon with more sauce halfway through cooking for extra flavor.

4. Prepare the Rice:
   While the salmon is baking, cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, set aside and keep warm.

5. Assemble the Bowls:
   To serve, place a portion of rice in each bowl. Top with steamed broccoli florets, shredded carrots, and sliced avocado. Place a salmon fillet on top of the vegetables. Drizzle with the remaining teriyaki sauce and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
