Ingredients

  • 4 (5 oz each) salmon fillets (skin-on)
  • 1 1/2 cups sushi rice
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup shelled edamame
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1/2 English cucumber, sliced
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

1

Cook sushi rice according to package directions. Once done, season with 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar and a pinch of sugar if desired. Keep warm.

2

Whisk together soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and grated ginger in a small bowl to make the teriyaki sauce.

3

Heat vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side up and cook for 4 minutes until a golden crust forms. Flip and cook skin-side down for 3 minutes.

4

Pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet around the salmon. Let it bubble and reduce for 2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the fillets as it thickens.

5

Cook the edamame according to package directions (microwave or boil for 3-4 minutes). Drain.

6

Divide the rice among four bowls. Arrange edamame, avocado slices, cucumber, and shredded carrot alongside. Place a glazed salmon fillet on top of each bowl.

7

Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce from the pan over the bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.
