Instructions

  1. Step 1: Rinse 1 cup uncooked rice under cold water until water runs clear, then cook according to package directions for 18 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated ginger until combined.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place 12 oz salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy, then flip and cook for 3 more minutes until just cooked through.

  5. Step 5: Return salmon to the skillet, pour the teriyaki sauce over, and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon.
  6. Step 6: Serve salmon and bok choy over cooked rice, garnished with 2 sliced green onions and 1 tsp sesame seeds.
