  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • Sesame seeds for garnish
  • Green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Place the salmon fillets on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
  3. While the salmon is cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan, heat the teriyaki sauce over low heat until warmed through.
  5. Assemble your bowl by dividing the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of cooked spinach, a cooked salmon fillet, and slices of avocado.
  6. Drizzle the warm teriyaki sauce over the salmon and rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions if desired.
  7. Serve the teriyaki salmon bowls immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce for 15-20 minutes before cooking. Feel free to add additional toppings or garnishes to your bowl, such as sliced cucumbers, pickled ginger, or a drizzle of sriracha for some heat. You can also toss in some other veggies like thinly sliced carrots or radishes for extra crunch and freshness. For a healthier twist, you can use brown rice or cauliflower rice as a substitute for white rice. Enjoy!
