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: Begin by placing the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the fillets, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow the salmon to marinate for about 10 minutes, which will infuse it with flavor while you prepare the rice and vegetables.

    Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the jasmine rice and either water or chicken broth for added flavor. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed. After cooking, remove it from heat and fluff the rice with a fork before setting it aside.

      Prepare the Veggies: In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil (or sesame oil) over medium heat. Once hot, add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and julienned carrot. Stir-fry the vegetables for approximately 5-7 minutes until they are tender yet crisp. Season with garlic powder, along with salt and pepper to taste.

        Cook the Salmon: Move the vegetables to one side of the skillet, creating space for the salmon. Place the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon reaches your desired level of doneness and has a slight caramelized exterior. If desired, brush the fillets with any remaining teriyaki sauce during cooking for added flavor.

          Assemble the Bowl: For serving, start by placing a generous scoop of jasmine rice in each bowl. Layer the stir-fried vegetables on top, followed by the cooked teriyaki salmon fillets, arranging them aesthetically for presentation.

            Garnish and Serve: Finish each bowl by sprinkling chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the top for added texture and flavor. Serve immediately and savor the delightful combination of flavors in your zesty teriyaki salmon bowl!

                - Presentation Tips: For an elegant touch, consider serving the bowls with a slice of lime or lemon on the side, which adds a refreshing burst of citrus when squeezed over the salmon.
