RECIPE: Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

We love a good bowl so we’ve whipped up this simple Teriyaki Salmon Bowl so you can make it at home. It’s a versatile recipe so you can use your protein, veggies and salad of choice to create your perfect bowl at home.

INGREDIENTS

Salmon Fillets (1 per person)
Head of broccoli, break up florets and steam
1 carrot, grated
1-2 Spring onion, finely sliced
Bok choy, steamed
1 small cucumber, finely sliced
Red cabbage, finely sliced
Shelled or unshelled edamame, unshelled are easier to use with recipes like this (cook according to packet)
1 x packet of soba noodles (cook according to packet)
Sesame seeds (optional)
Nori, cut into thin strips (optional)

Simple teriyaki sauce

¼ cup soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar OR 1 tablespoon of mirin
2 tablespoons water (optional if you want to thin the sauce out)
1 teaspoon crushed ginger (add more or less according to your preference)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic (add more or less according to your preference)

What now?

1. Add all of your teriyaki sauce ingredients, except the water, to a small bowl and mix until sugar is dissolved.
2. Add your salmon fillets skin side up to a bowl or a tray with the sauce so that the fish is in the sauce. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the fish to marinate.
3. Preheat oven to 200 °c and prepare your vegetables and salad while the fish is marinating.
4. Line a baking tray and place salmon on the baking tray skin side down. Cover the fillets with a teaspoon of sauce and bake for 12-15 minutes or until salmon is cooked. Set aside to rest on the tray and remove the skin from the salmon before plating it.
5. Add the remaining marinade to a small saucepan with water and cook until boiling. Add a little more water if you want more sauce or if it thickens. Boil for about 30 seconds and set aside.
6. Assemble your bowl with the soba noodles on the bottom, add your salmon to the middle of your bowl and your vegetables and salad on the side. Top with sauce, sesame seeds and strips of nori. Enjoy!
