Teriyaki Salmon with Rice

Ingredients

• •4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
• •1 cup uncooked white rice
• •1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
• •1 tbsp olive oil
• •2 green onions, chopped
• •1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)
• •Salt and pepper to taste
• •2 cups water

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2. 2

   In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.

3. 3

   While the rice is cooking, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

4. 4

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Flip the salmon fillets and brush generously with teriyaki sauce. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, basting with more sauce until the salmon is cooked through.

6. 6

   Once the salmon is cooked, remove from heat and prepare to serve. Fluff the rice with a fork.

7. 7

   Serve the salmon over a bed of rice and drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
