Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium heads of broccoli, cut into florets
- 4 (4–6 ounce) salmon filets
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 cup shelled edamame, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup grated carrot
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1–2 handfuls of shredded cabbage
- 2 green onions, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp arrowroot starch, cornstarch, or tapioca flour
- ¼ cup cold water
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp sesame oil
- ½ tsp freshly grated ginger, very fine
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat & Prep for Roasting: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Roast the Broccoli: Spread broccoli florets on the baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 15–20 minutes.
- Prepare the Salmon: Pat salmon filets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Make the Teriyaki Sauce: Whisk starch and cold water in a bowl. In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine soy sauce, orange juice, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic; bring to a boil, then whisk in the starch slurry and simmer for 3–4 minutes until thickened.
- Add Salmon to Baking Sheet and Bake: Move roasted broccoli to one side of the tray, place salmon skin-side down in the space, and brush 1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce on each filet.
- Bake Salmon to Perfection: Bake for 8–12 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- Prepare Rice and Edamame: Heat the edamame and brown rice according to package directions while the salmon bakes.
- Assemble Your Buddha Bowls: Place brown rice in bowls, top with roasted broccoli, teriyaki salmon, grated carrot, sliced green onion, shredded cabbage, and edamame; drizzle with extra sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
