Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

Serves 4 | Ready in 25 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 360g (12.7 oz.) cooked basmati rice

• 6 tbsp. rice wine vinegar

• 2 tbsp. maple syrup, divided

• 2 tbsp. sesame seeds, divided

• 1 tbsp. tamari sauce

• 2 tsp. sesame oil

• 1 tsp. sriracha sauce

• ½ tsp. fresh ginger, grated

• ½ tsp. fresh garlic, grated

• 680g (1.5 lbs.) salmon filet, skinned, cubbed

• 160g (5.6 oz.) edamame beans

• 100g (3.5 oz.) cucumber, sliced

• 2 avocados, sliced

• 30g (1 oz.) green onions, minced

• chili flakes, to garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the sesame rice:

   Add the cooked basmati rice to a large bowl. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, 1 tbsp. of maple syrup, and 1 tsp. salt. Pour this vinegar mixture into the rice, add 1 tbsp. of sesame seeds, and mix well to combine.

2. Make the teriyaki sauce:

   In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1 tbsp. of maple syrup, tamari, sesame oil, sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Stir well to create the sauce.

3. Cook the salmon:

   Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp. of olive oil. Add the salmon chunks and cook for about 1 minute on each side. Add the teriyaki sauce, increase the heat to high, and toss the salmon in the sauce until it’s evenly coated. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

4. Assemble the bowls:

   Divide the sesame rice into 4 bowls. Top each with edamame beans, cucumber, and avocado slices. Add the teriyaki salmon to each bowl and spoon any remaining sauce from the pan over the top. Garnish with green onions, the remaining sesame seeds, and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
