Ingredients:

• ▢ 4 (6 oz.) salmon filets (skinless)
• ▢ 1 green onion (finely chopped, for garnishing)
• ▢ 1 tbsp sesame seeds (for garnishing)

Honey Teriyaki Sauce:

• ▢ 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• ▢ 1 cup water
• ▢ 7 tbsp honey
• ▢ 2 tbsp light brown sugar
• ▢ 1 tsp garlic powder
• ▢ 1 tbsp cornstarch
• ▢ 2 tbsp water (for cornstarch)

Vegetables:

• ▢ 1 tbsp minced garlic (approximately 3 cloves)
• ▢ 2 bell peppers (thinly sliced)
• ▢ 1/2 yellow onion (thinly sliced)
• ▢ 2 cups frozen broccoli
• ▢ 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
• ▢ salt and pepper (to taste, optional)
• ▢ 2 (10 oz.) bags of frozen cauliflower rice (or sub 2 cups of homemade)

Instructions:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and spray an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place a small saucepan over medium heat and combine low-sodium soy sauce, water, honey, light brown sugar, and garlic powder. Bring sauce to a slight boil - continuously whisking until thoroughly mixed.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch and water. Thoroughly mix to make sure it is not clumpy. Once mixed, combine with the teriyaki sauce. Whisk until the sauce has thickened.
• Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Place the salmon filets in the baking dish and top with 1 cup of the teriyaki sauce. Save the rest for additional sauce for the vegetables and cauliflower rice.
• Bake until the fish flakes with a fork - approximately 12-14 minutes. Time will be dependent on how thickly cut the filets are.
• While the salmon is baking, place a non-stick pan over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil has heated, add the sliced peppers and onions. Sauté until the peppers have softened, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté approximately 1-2 minutes.
• Once the garlic is fragrant - add the remaining teriyaki sauce to the pan and mix well to coat and re-warm.
• While the peppers and onions are sautéing, cook the cauliflower rice and broccoli. If frozen - microwave. If using raw - see notes.
• Serve salmon immediately with cauliflower rice, broccoli, and sautéed veggies.
• Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

Notes:

Broccoli:

• You can use frozen broccoli or raw broccoli. If using raw broccoli, I recommend steaming broccoli in a pan until fork-tender. Approximately 8-10 minutes.

Cauliflower Rice:

• You can use frozen cauliflower rice or homemade cauliflower rice with this recipe. If using homemade, saute cauliflower rice while the peppers are cooking. I recommend 1 tbsp of oil per 1 cup of cauliflower rice. You can add additional flavor by swapping for butter or seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
• If you're new to making cauliflower rice, I recommend checking out my How To Make and Freeze Cauliflower Rice post for directions.
