Ingredients

• Salmon fillets - 200 grams
• Cooked jasmine rice - 1 cup (200 grams)
• Teriyaki sauce - 3 tablespoons
• Broccoli florets - 100 grams
• Carrot, julienned - 1 medium (about 60 grams)
• Green onions, sliced - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic, minced - 1 clove
• Ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• Black sesame seeds - 1 teaspoon (for garnish)
• Nori sheets, cut into strips - 1 sheet (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
3. Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and pour half of the teriyaki mixture over the salmon, ensuring it's well coated. Marinate for 10 minutes.
4. While the salmon is marinating, steam the broccoli florets and julienned carrots until just tender, about 5-7 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, mix the cooked jasmine rice with the steamed vegetables, sesame oil, and the remaining teriyaki mixture. Stir until well combined.
6. Transfer the rice and vegetable mixture to the bottom of the same baking dish used for the salmon, creating an even layer.
7. Place the marinated salmon fillets on top of the rice mixture.
8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
9. Remove from the oven, garnish with sliced green onions and black sesame seeds. If using, add nori strips for an extra touch.
10. Serve warm and enjoy your Teriyaki Salmon Casserole!
