Ingredients
  

For the Teriyaki Salmon:

2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

1 tsp sesame oil

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Chopped green onions (for garnish)

For the Veggie Rice:

1 cup jasmine or basmati rice

2 cups water or vegetable broth

1 cup mixed vegetables (such as bell peppers, carrots, and peas)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp soy sauce (or tamari)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Rice:

    - Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water (or broth) and bring to a boil.

      - Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

        Cook the Vegetables:

          - In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.

            - Stir in 1 tsp of soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Mix well and set aside.

              Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce:

                - In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki sauce.

                  Cook the Salmon:

                    - In the same skillet used for the vegetables, add a little more oil if needed. Heat over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes.

                      - Carefully flip the salmon fillets and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

                        Plate Your Dish:

                          - Serve a generous scoop of the veggie rice on each plate, top with the teriyaki salmon, and drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce over the top.

                            - Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

                              Enjoy Your Meal!

                                - Serve immediately and savor the delicious flavors of your Quick Teriyaki Salmon with Veggie Rice!
