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. If using frozen salmon, defrost in the fridge overnight. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Lightly oil a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  3. Cut salmon into one-inch cubes or place whole fillets skin side down in the dish, applying half of the teriyaki sauce evenly.
  4. For enhanced flavor, marinate for 20 minutes if time allows.
  5. Bake uncovered for 12-18 minutes until the fish flakes easily with a fork; check at 10 minutes.
  6. Optional: Broil for a couple of minutes to achieve a crispy top.
  7. Drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce and garnish with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, and scallions before serving.
