Teriyaki Baked Salmon

Ingredients

• 3 Salmon fillet
• 5 tbsp soy sauce
• 3 tbsp mirin
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 1 tbsp ginger (grated)
• 1 garlic clove (crushed)
• 2 cup basmati rice
• 3 cup water
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tspn salt

Steps

1. Place a saucepan on low heat on the stove. Then place all the sauce ingredients inside.
2. Constantly stir the sauce, until it slowly thickens. You will notice your spoon will leave a thick coating, this will be your sign that your sauce is ready to be taken off the heat and transferred to a bowl. Let it cool down.
3. Place 2 cups of basmati rice into a saucepan. Add olive oil and salt and give it a good mix.
4. Add 3 cups of water and let the rice come to bubbling temperature. Reduce to low heat and cover with lid for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked. Note: Even once the 15 minutes has passed, if you leave the lid on it will still continue to cook.
5. Pre heat oven to 200 degrees celsius.
6. Place salmon fillets on a lined baking dish and pour the teriyaki sauce evenly on top. Cover with aluminium foil and let it bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.
7. Place your rice into a bowl or plate and place your salmon fillet on top. I serve it with cubed avocado and steamed green beans, garnished with roasted sesame on the top. Enjoy!
