Ingredients
  

Bowl Components
  • 1 lb Salmon Fillet cut into thick chunks (454g)
  • 1 cup White Rice fluffy jasmine or basmati (185g)
  • 1/2 cup Teriyaki Sauce thick and glossy (120ml)
  • 1 large Avocado ripe, sliced
  • 2 cups Mixed Greens vibrant and fresh (60g)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame Seeds toasted white and black
  • 2 stalks Green Onions finely chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Non-stick Skillet Used for searing the salmon
  • 1 Rice Cooker or Pot For steaming the rice

Method
 

Cook the Base
  1. Rinse 1 cup (185g) of rice and cook until fluffy and tender.
  2. Pat salmon dry and cut into 1.5-inch thick chunks.
Sear and Glaze
  1. Heat oil in a skillet and sear salmon chunks for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized edges appear.
  2. Reduce heat, pour in teriyaki sauce, and toss until chunks are heavily coated in a thick glossy glaze.

Notes

Dry the salmon thoroughly before searing for the best crust.
Use high-quality, thick teriyaki sauce for that restaurant-style glossy finish.
