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!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 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)

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. Cook rice according to package instructions and set aside.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Assemble bowls: Add rice to each bowl, top with salmon, roasted Brussels sprouts, and extra sauce.

Notes

  • Add sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a fresh finish.

  • Air fryer? Use it to crisp the Brussels sprouts even faster!

  • Want it spicier? Add a dash of sriracha to the teriyaki sauce.
