Ingredients
  

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1 cup brown rice

2 cups water or low-sodium chicken broth

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup sliced bell peppers (red and yellow for color)

½ cup shredded carrots

2 tablespoons olive oil

¼ cup teriyaki sauce (store-bought or homemade)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2 green onions, chopped

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Brown Rice:

    Rinse the brown rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water or broth. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 40-45 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

      Prepare the Vegetables:

        In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets, sliced bell peppers, and shredded carrots. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still crisp. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

          Cook the Salmon:

            In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Place them skin-side down in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon, pour ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce over the fillets, and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.

              Assemble the Bowls:

                In serving bowls, place a scoop of cooked brown rice at the bottom. Top with sautéed vegetables and a salmon fillet. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce if desired.

                  Garnish and Serve:

                    Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the bowls for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Teriyaki Salmon Bowls!
