Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup soy sauce or tamari
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2- inch piece of fresh ginger grated
- 1 Tbsp avocado oil
- ¼ cup pineapple juice
- 1 tsp tapioca flour or cornstarch
- Pinch of ground black pepper
Salmon
- 1.5 lbs of Atlantic salmon cut into 1-2” pieces and skin removed
- ¼ cup pineapple tidbits
- 5 cups of cold cooked white rice
- 1 medium white onion diced
- 1 10 oz bag of frozen peas and carrots
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- 2 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp soy or tamari sauce
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seed oil
- 3 green onions sliced
- Sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450F.
- Combine the pineapple juice and starch in a small bowl to make a slurry. Whisk the remaining teriyaki sauce ingredients together in a measuring cup.
- Pour half the sauce over the salmon to marinate for about 30 minutes.
- Combine the rice, vegetables, garlic, oils, vinegar, and soy sauce ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine, and spread out into an even layer on a large baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the oven on the center rack for 20 minutes, stirring halfway between.
- While the rice is baking, heat a small pot over medium heat. Add the remaining teriyaki sauce to the pot. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Stir in the pineapple slurry to combine. The sauce should thicken within 1 minute; immediately remove the pot from the heat.
- Remove the baking sheet. Place the upper rack about 6 inches from the broiler, and turn the oven to broil. Push the rice to one side of the pan, add the pineapples to the rice, then add the salmon pieces to the other side of the pan, discarding the remaining marinade. Put the baking sheet in the oven for 5 minutes. Flip the salmon over to broil the other side for about 2 more minutes. Be careful to watch that your rice doesn’t burn.
- Take the sheet pan out, portion and serve the dish. Drizzle the teriyaki sauce over the meal, and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
