How to Make Teriyaki Salmon Bowls with Crispy Brussels Sprouts
Step 1: Prepare the Teriyaki Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over them. Let the salmon marinate in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to absorb all the delicious flavors.
Step 2: Roast the Brussels Sprouts
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts, then toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Arrange the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure they get crispy on all sides.
- Once they are golden and crispy, drizzle with balsamic vinegar (optional) and set aside.
Step 3: Cook the Salmon
- Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Once hot, add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down (if applicable) and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. You can also cook the salmon in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 12-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets.
- Brush the salmon with any remaining teriyaki marinade during the last minute of cooking for extra flavor.
Step 4: Assemble the Bowls
- Start by placing a scoop of cooked brown rice (or quinoa) at the bottom of each bowl.
- Arrange the crispy Brussels sprouts and cooked salmon fillet on top of the rice.
- Garnish the bowl with avocado slices, pickled ginger, chili flakes, sesame seeds, and scallions for added texture and flavor.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy!
- Drizzle any leftover teriyaki sauce over the top for added moisture and flavor.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the balance of crispy, tender, and savory goodness in every bite!
Tips for Perfect Teriyaki Salmon Bowls with Crispy Brussels Sprouts
✔ Make it Spicy – If you love some heat, add chili flakes or a splash of sriracha to the teriyaki sauce or as a topping on the finished dish.
✔ Meal Prep – This recipe is perfect for meal prepping! Store the components separately in the fridge, and assemble the bowls when you’re ready to eat.
✔ Add More Veggies – If you want to load up the bowl with more veggies, consider adding carrot ribbons, cucumber slices, or edamame.
✔ Try Different Grains – If you prefer white rice or quinoa, feel free to use that in place of brown rice for a different texture and flavor.
