Preparation Steps
In a small saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Heat over medium until it simmers.
Stir in cornstarch mixed with water and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a skillet over medium-high.
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. If using a skillet, add olive oil.
Cook salmon fillets skin-side down, brushing with teriyaki sauce.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or pan-sear for 4-5 minutes on each side, brushing with extra teriyaki sauce.
Steam broccoli florets until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
In bowls, layer rice, steamed broccoli, and salmon. Drizzle with teriyaki sauce.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy.
Optional: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice for extra zing.
