Easy Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon Bowls
This is less of a recipe than it is an idea. Take a protein, give it a quick marinade bath, serve it with a bowl of crunchy, spicy, tangy accompaniments. You may have caught on by now that we are very into “bowl food” around here.
I usually serve this with cauliflower rice for myself and white rice for my husband and kids. The furikake seasoning used as garnish is delicious, but don’t stress if you can’t find it. You can use crushed up nori and sesame seeds, or just sesame seeds, or leave them off altogether.
This is a weeknight staple for our family and hope it will become one for yours too!
