Ingredients
  

  • 2 fillet salmon skin on or off
  • 0.25 cup teriyaki sauce low sodium preferred
  • 2 cup cooked rice brown or white
  • 1 cup broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
  • 0.5 teaspoon olive oil or other cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them in a shallow dish or zip-top bag.
  • Pour teriyaki sauce over the salmon, ensuring both sides are coated. Marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
  • While salmon marinates, cook rice according to package directions and steam broccoli until tender-crisp.
  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place marinated salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) in the hot skillet. Cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork. Baste with any remaining teriyaki sauce in the pan during cooking.
  • Serve the cooked salmon immediately with the cooked rice and steamed broccoli. Garnish generously with sesame seeds.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle chopped green onions or a squeeze of lime juice over the top before serving. You can also bake the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 12-15 minutes instead of pan-frying. Adjust the amount of teriyaki sauce to your taste preferences.
