Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)
  • 1 batch homemade teriyaki sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups cooked broccoli
  • 1/3 cup diced scallion

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. If using frozen salmon, defrost it in the fridge overnight.
  2. Prepare the teriyaki sauce according to your preferred recipe.
  3. Lightly oil the bottom of a baking dish, then place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Spread half of the teriyaki sauce on top.
  4. For extra flavor, marinate the salmon for about 20 minutes if time permits.
  5. Bake uncovered for 12-18 minutes, checking at the 10-minute mark for doneness.
  6. Optionally broil for an additional couple of minutes for extra crispiness.
  7. Serve with remaining teriyaki sauce, garnished with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and chopped scallions.
