Easy Sheet Pan Teriyaki Salmon Bowls are a delightful, nutritious meal featuring tender salmon fillets, vibrant vegetables, and a delectable teriyaki sauce.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each) Skin-on preferred for flavor and moisture
- ½ cup Teriyaki sauce Store-bought or homemade
- 4 cups Mixed vegetables (Broccoli, bell peppers, snap peas recommended)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cups Cooked jasmine or brown rice
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds For garnish
- 2 stalks Green onions Sliced for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Whisk together ½ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, 1 tablespoon grated ginger, and 1 tablespoon rice vinegar to create the teriyaki sauce. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce over them, turning to coat evenly. Marinate for 10 minutes.
- Toss the mixed vegetables with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread the vegetables evenly on one side of the sheet pan.
- Place the marinated salmon skin-side down on the other side of the sheet pan. Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce over both the salmon and vegetables.
Cooking
- Roast everything in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and the vegetables are tender with caramelized edges. Adjust cooking time if vegetables are thicker.
- Cook the rice while the salmon and vegetables roast if it is not pre-cooked.
Assembly
- Divide the cooked rice among four bowls, top them with the roasted veggies and salmon, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
Select fresh salmon that is bright pink in color and free from a fishy smell. For a more intense flavor, marinate the salmon for up to 30 minutes before cooking. Vary your vegetable mix according to seasonal availability, incorporating favorites like carrots or zucchini.
