Meal Prep
Salmon Teriyaki Bowls
Salmon Teriyaki Bowls are a classic meal prep that checks every box. Tender oven-baked salmon gets glazed in a sticky homemade teriyaki sauce while broccoli and jasmine rice round out the bowl. The result is savory, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying without feeling heavy. At around 780 calories with around 55.5g of protein per serving, it lands right in that macro-friendly sweet spot. Simple ingredients, big flavor, and the kind of prep you’ll actually look forward to eating all week.

Steam broccoli:
Microwave the steam-in-bag broccoli until tender, about 5 minutes. You can also steam fresh broccoli over a pot instead of the frozen route, but sometimes you just need a low-effort side. Sue me!

The steam-in-bag broccoli is a deliberate shortcut here. It frees up the oven for salmon and keeps the side dish from becoming another pan to manage. Start the rice first, make the teriyaki sauce, and microwave the broccoli near the end according to its package directions. That overlap makes sense when you are choosing from the under-45-minute collection. Drain off excess water before portioning so it does not thin the glaze in the containers. Having broccoli ready in a few minutes is great; plain steamed broccoli is also not the most exciting thing to eat. That is the tradeoff here, and a little of the bowl's teriyaki sauce helps it feel like part of the meal.
Reserve the drizzling sauce before brushing the raw fish, then use a separate clean utensil for that finishing portion. Flaking the cooked salmon into large pieces makes it easier to distribute across the rice and reheat evenly, while still keeping some recognizable pieces of fish. This is one of the fish meal preps where a simple vegetable shortcut leaves room to focus on the sauce. Before flaking skin-on salmon, lift the hot cooked flesh away from the skin across the whole batch. That one pass on prep day saves you from finding pieces of skin in each lunch.
For a refrigerated serving, microwave on high for 90 seconds, stir, then heat for another 45 seconds. Use that as a starting point and continue in short intervals as needed until the food reaches 165°F throughout. Stir the rice and broccoli gently around the salmon at the pause, adding a little water only if the rice needs it. Finish with the listed sesame seeds. If you want a different protein with a similar sauce direction, explore the Asian-inspired collection, or keep the format and choose another recipe from the bowl archive.

From time to time, I sit down at a restaurant and have a meal- only to think about how simple it is and how great it'd be as meal prep. That is why I decided to craft my very own salmon teriyaki bowl recipe! I think it's even better than restaurant-grade; let me know what you think!
