Ingredients
  

For the Salmon and Rice
  • 4 fillets Salmon fillets (about 4 to 6 ounces each) skin on or off
  • 1 cup Rice (jasmine or basmati) long grain is easiest
  • 2 cups Chicken broth or veggie broth water can be used, but broth tastes better
  • Vegetables (broccoli florets, snap peas, bell pepper strips, or zucchini chunks) Choose veggies that hold up well when baked
  • Green onions and sesame seeds for topping Optional garnish
  • Sriracha or chili flakes Optional for added heat
For the Teriyaki Sauce
  • 1/2 cup Soy sauce For salty base; use tamari for gluten-free
  • 1/4 cup Honey or brown sugar For sweetness; adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar For tang
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced For flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated For aroma
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch For thickening
  • 2 tablespoons Cold water To mix with cornstarch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil a baking dish or sheet pan with sides.
  2. Rinse rice under cold water until it runs mostly clear.
  3. Add rice to the dish with broth and a tiny pinch of salt. Stir to evenly spread.
  4. Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 20 to 25 minutes.
  5. Remove foil, nestle the salmon fillets on top of the rice, and add the vegetables around them.
  6. Brush or spoon teriyaki sauce over the salmon and drizzle over the veggies.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes. Salmon is done when it flakes easily and looks opaque.
  2. For a stickier glaze, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
  3. Finish with green onions and sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lime if desired.

Notes

Store leftover sauce separately to keep salmon better when reheating. Adding fresh toppings later can enhance flavor.
