Teriyaki Salmon Rice is a delightful fusion dish that combines tender, marinated salmon with fluffy rice, topped with a vibrant sesame and green onion garnish. This Halal-friendly meal offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors, ideal for a comforting supper.

Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 2 (about 150g each)
• Soy sauce - 4 tablespoons
• Honey - 2 tablespoons
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cooked jasmine rice - 1 cup
• Green onions - 2, sliced
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create the teriyaki marinade.
2. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes.
3. While the salmon marinates, cook the jasmine rice according to package instructions.
4. Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade, reserving the marinade for later.
5. Cook the salmon in the skillet for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flaky. Brush with the reserved marinade during the last minute of cooking.
6. In a separate small saucepan, heat the remaining marinade until it thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8. To serve, place a scoop of rice on each plate, top with the teriyaki salmon, drizzle with thickened marinade, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
