| Ingredient | Quantity (1 Serving) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Low-Sodium Soy Sauce | 1/4 cup | Adds that umami punch! |
| Brown Sugar | 3 tablespoons | Balances the saltiness and creates a gorgeous glaze. |
| Garlic | 1 small clove, chopped | Because everything's better with garlic. |
| Fresh Ginger | 1 tablespoon, chopped | A touch of zing! |
| Salmon Fillet | 6 ounces | Look for wild-caught if possible. |
| Cooked Rice | 1 cup | White or brown, your choice! |
| Shredded Red Cabbage | 1 cup | Adds a beautiful crunch and color. |
| Grated Carrots | 1/4 cup | A touch of sweetness. |
| Thinly Sliced Radishes | 2 | For a peppery kick. |
| Sesame Seeds (Optional) | 1 teaspoon | For extra nutty flavor and texture. |
| Green Onion, thinly sliced (Optional) | 1 | A fresh, vibrant garnish. |
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and give a baking dish a quick spritz with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and chopped ginger in a small bowl. This is your magic teriyaki marinade!
- Place your salmon fillet skin-side down in the baking dish and generously pour the teriyaki sauce over it. Make sure it's coated nice and evenly.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Don't overcook it, y'all – we want it nice and juicy!
- Now, let's build those bowls! Start with a bed of fluffy rice, then top with the baked salmon. Spoon any extra teriyaki sauce from the baking dish over the salmon – every drop is precious!
- Pile on the shredded red cabbage, grated carrots, and sliced radishes. This is where you get that gorgeous color and satisfying crunch.
- Finally, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions for an extra touch of flavor and flair. (Optional, but highly recommended!)
