Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup jasmine rice

2 cups water or chicken broth

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup bell peppers, sliced (red or yellow)

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 tablespoon olive oil or sesame oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, place the salmon fillets and pour the teriyaki sauce over them. Let them marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rice and veggies.

    Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and water (or chicken broth). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and set aside.

      Prepare the Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil (or sesame oil) over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, bell peppers, and julienned carrots. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

        Cook the Salmon: In the same skillet, push the veggies to the side and add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness and caramelized on the outside. Brush with any remaining teriyaki sauce during cooking for extra flavor.

          Assemble the Bowl: In serving bowls, layer a scoop of jasmine rice on the bottom, followed by the stir-fried veggies and then the teriyaki salmon on top.

            Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top of each bowl for an extra crunch. Serve immediately and enjoy your speedy teriyaki salmon bowl!
