Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces/170 grams each)
Sauces and Seasonings:
- 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
Oils and Additional Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 lb (454 grams) Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine rice)
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the culinary workspace oven to a precise 400°F (200°C), creating an ideal roasting environment for vegetables and protein.
- Transform Brussels sprouts into crispy delicacies by halving them, then generously coating with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring maximum caramelization during roasting.
- Develop a vibrant teriyaki marinade by whisking together teriyaki sauce, olive oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic powder, ginger, and honey. Submerge salmon fillets in this flavor-packed liquid, allowing ingredients to meld for a minimum of 15 minutes.
- Activate a large skillet over medium-high heat, creating a searing surface for the marinated salmon. Cook each fillet approximately 4-5 minutes per side, achieving a golden exterior and perfectly cooked interior.
- Craft individual serving bowls by layering fluffy rice as the foundational element. Carefully position the caramelized salmon atop the rice, surrounding it with the roasted Brussels sprouts.
- Elevate the visual and flavor profile by garnishing with finely sliced green onions, sprinkled sesame seeds, and optional fresh cilantro for a burst of herbaceous brightness.
- Present the dish immediately, allowing diners to experience the harmonious blend of textures and temperatures in this gourmet teriyaki salmon creation.
Notes
- Swap honey with maple syrup or agave for vegan-friendly sweetness, ensuring balanced flavor without compromising texture.
- Pat Brussels sprouts completely dry before roasting to guarantee maximum crispiness and prevent steaming instead of caramelizing.
- Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature reaches 145°F for perfectly cooked, moist salmon without overcooking.
- Replace rice with cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles to create a lighter, low-carbohydrate version of this delicious bowl.
