Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the rice according to package instructions, about 15-20 minutes. If using leftover rice, reheat until fluffy.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until smooth. Prepare a cornstarch slurry by mixing cornstarch with water, then combine it with the sauce mixture.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, season the salmon, and cook skin-side down for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  4. Reduce heat to medium and pour the teriyaki sauce into the skillet. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, coating the salmon in the glaze.
  5. Steam your choice of vegetables until tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes or microwave with water covered for 3-4 minutes.
  6. Fluff the cooked rice, distribute into bowls, top with glazed salmon and vegetables, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
