Ingredients
  

2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin removed

2 cups broccoli florets

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1 cup cooked brown rice or quinoa (for a healthier option)

1/4 cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

2 green onions, thinly sliced (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by preparing the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. While the grains are cooking, chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets and slice the green onions.

    Cook the Salmon: In a large skillet or non-stick pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. When the pan is hot, add the salmon fillets, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F/63°C). For added flavor, brush the salmon with half of the teriyaki sauce during the last minute of cooking.

      Steam the Broccoli: While the salmon is cooking, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Place the broccoli florets in a steaming basket over the pot, cover, and steam for about 4-5 minutes or until tender yet crisp. Alternatively, you can microwave the broccoli with a splash of water in a covered bowl for 2-3 minutes.

        Assemble the Bowl: Once everything is cooked, divide the cooked brown rice or quinoa among bowls. Top each with a piece of salmon and a generous portion of steamed broccoli. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the top for extra flavor.

          Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the bowls with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh finish. Enjoy your Quick Teriyaki Salmon and Broccoli Bowls warm!
