ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, broccoli, bell peppers)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
steps
- 1.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic to create the teriyaki marinade.
- 2.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki marinade over them. Let them marinate for 20 minutes at room temperature or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- 3.
Meanwhile, rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 4.
In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are crisp-tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5.
Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with foil and place the marinated salmon fillets on it. Broil for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and caramelized on top.
- 6.
While the salmon is cooking, warm the remaining teriyaki marinade in a small saucepan over medium heat until it thickens slightly.
- 7.
To serve, divide the cooked jasmine rice among four plates. Top each portion with a salmon fillet and a spoonful of teriyaki glaze. Arrange the sautéed vegetables around the salmon. Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
