What Kind Of Salmon Should I Buy?

Teriyaki BBQ Mix:
Next, you’ll need a bottle of teriyaki sauce glaze and your favorite BBQ sauce.

Which Brands Did I Use For These Semihomemade Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl?
Sometimes when it comes to Semihomemade recipe that use packaged foods to create meals, the brands of items can make or break a dish. I don’t think this ALWAYS happens but I do know that not all packaged items are created equally.
Salmon filets – I used COHO Salmon from Food Lion
Teriyaki Sauce Glaze – Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste and Glaze
Rice – Ben’s Original Jasmine Rice
Broccoli florets – any will do, but I love using the Birds Eye Steamfresh Broccoli Florets
Sesame seeds – any brand
How To Make Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl:
-
Preheat oven to 400F.
-
This is the glaze I’m using.
-
Brush 1 tablespoon of Teriyaki glaze onto each fillet.
-
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145F.
-
While salmon is cooking, cook the rice and broccoli.
To Plate: Fill 1/2 of bowl with rice and the other side with steamed broccoli. Place cooked salmon on top of rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Lets Talk Vegetables:
While the recipe suggests steamed broccoli, feel free to experiment with different options.
You can try roasting vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or broccoli for a slightly charred and smoky taste. Alternatively, you can lightly steam vegetables like snow peas or bok choy to maintain their crispness and vibrant colors. Don’t be afraid to mix and match your favorite veggies to create a personalized blend.
Rice Ideas:
I love Jasmine rice so much and that is what I used in this recipe. I always use the BEN’S ORIGINAL Ready Rice (Jasmine Rice) for quick recipes like this.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try experimenting with different types of rice. While the recipe calls for white rice, you can substitute it with brown rice for a nuttier and heartier base. Alternatively, you can use sushi rice for a stickier texture that pairs well with the tender salmon. For a grain-free option, consider using cauliflower rice as a lighter alternative. The choice of rice will not only affect the taste but also contribute to the nutritional value of your bowl.
