Teriyaki salmon bowl

I'm trying to start to eat better and overall take a bit better care of myself - part of which I need to eat more. I eat to little during the day, I can skip all meals during a day due to busy schedules, which means I stuff myself during the evenings and eat wrong because I'm too hungry.

So maybe this excellent bowl is one step closer to the new me - or actually sort of the old me :) But rest assured, even if you are all well with your diet, you're bound to enjoy this 😍 Recipe credits to Soppa365.



Teriyaki salmon bowl (for four)

400 g salmon (lax)
1 tbsp butter
3 dl sushi- or jasmin rice
Teriyaki sauce
1 dl soy sauce
¾ dl sugar
1 dl dry white wine or sherry (or sake)
1 tl sesame oil
1 tl grated fresh ginger

Salad
salad of your choice
cucumber sticks
cherry tomatoes
avocado (half for each person)

Salad dressing
1 ½ tbsp rice wine vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp dijon mustard

Garnish with
fried sesame seeds
spring onion
sriracha dressing (your choice)

Start by boiling the rice of your choice according to the recipe in the package. Then mix together the indegrients of the teriyaki sauce, pour into a frying pan and heat up, keep boiling and stir. Let it simmer down and thicken, but not too much (totally sticky is a bit too much; it should be somewhat runny still). Pour to a bowl to wait.

Cut the salmon into serving size (four pieces). Heat butter in a frying pan and fry salmon pieces for a few minutes. Pour the teriyaki sauce into the pan. Fry the sauce and the salmon (not too high heat) for 5-7 minutes (or as the salmon is to your liking), turning the salmon over once. Keep pasting the salmon while frying.

Cut the indegrients of the salad to your liking and mix the salad dressing. You can either mix the salad together with the dressing, or do as I did, and arrange the salad in the bowl and pour the salad dressing on them. Either way, leave room for rice in the bowl.

Put the rice on the bowl too, top with the salmon. If you've left the teriyaki sauce sufficiently not-too-thick, you can also you it as the sauce for the rice (highly recommended!!). Dress with sesame seeds and spring onions (unless you forget them.......).

Now the only thing to do is to enjoy! It's the perfect mix of sweet, fresh and salty... Love.

Loving the winter with tartiflette aka cheesy potato gratin

It's been a funny little winter this year in Finland. I take pride in not complaining about the weather, but this year even I've had...
