This dish brings back warm memories of Sunday dinners with my family, gathered around the table, laughing and savoring every bite. Teriyaki salmon was always a favorite — sweet, savory, and oh-so satisfying. I added crispy Brussels sprouts for a modern, healthy twist. It’s a heartwarming bowl that fills you up without weighing you down. Give it a try and let your home smell like comfort and joy tonight!
2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste
1 cup cooked brown rice or jasmine rice
For the Teriyaki Sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (to thicken)
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 25–30 minutes until golden and crispy.
Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.
Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, combine all sauce ingredients except cornstarch. Bring to a simmer, then stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until thickened.
Pan-sear the salmon: In a non-stick pan, cook salmon skin-side down for 4–5 minutes. Flip, brush with teriyaki sauce, and cook another 2–3 minutes.
Assemble bowls: Add rice to each bowl, top with salmon, roasted Brussels sprouts, and extra sauce.
Add sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a fresh finish.
