Ingredients:

1 lb salmon
450g
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce
72g
2 tbsp canola oil
30g
1 red pepper
80g
1 cup scallions
50g
2 cups brown rice
460g
2 tbsp soy sauce
30g
1 tsp sesame oil
5g
1 tbsp sesame seeds
16g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki sauce over them, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Cook the Brown Rice:
- Follow the package instructions to cook 2 cups of brown rice. This typically involves boiling the rice in water until tender, draining, and setting aside.
3. Roast the Salmon:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of canola oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later) and sear the fillets for about 2 minutes on each side, until they are nicely browned.
- Pour the reserved marinade over the salmon and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4. Stir-fry the Vegetables:
- While the salmon is roasting, heat the remaining tablespoon of canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the julienned red pepper and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until it starts to soften.
- Stir in the chopped scallions and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
5. Combine and Season:
- Add the cooked brown rice to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, stirring well to combine and heat through.
6. Serve the Dish:
- Divide the vegetable rice mixture among four plates.
- Place a salmon fillet on top of the rice on each plate.
- Garnish with sesame seeds before serving.

Tips:

- Marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the fish.

- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet to prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.

- Cook the salmon over medium-high heat to get a nice sear on the outside while keeping the inside moist and tender.

- Add the red pepper and scallions towards the end of the cooking process to maintain their crisp texture and vibrant color.

- Serve the salmon over a bed of brown rice to soak up the delicious teriyaki sauce.

- Garnish with sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil for an added layer of flavor and a visually appealing presentation.
