Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)

½ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup jasmine rice (or any preferred rice)

2 cups water or broth (for cooking rice)

1 cup broccoli florets

½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 green onions, sliced

1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

1 tsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Combine the rice and water (or broth) in the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for about 15-18 minutes until the rice is cooked and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand, covered, for another 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Vegetables: While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sliced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender yet crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

      Cook the Salmon: In the same skillet, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Pour half of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, brushing with more teriyaki sauce, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. (If using skin-on fillets, you can leave the skin on during cooking for extra flavor and texture.)

        Assemble the Bowl: Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and divide it among two bowls. Top each bowl with sautéed vegetables and a salmon fillet. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the top.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds on top of each bowl for added flavor and crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your Quick Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl!
