How To Make Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
To make this quick and easy sheet pan dinner you start by lining your baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your fresh vegetables on half of the pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and bake at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Pull the baking sheet from the oven, add the salmon fillets, pat them with paper towels, and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Then brush about half of the teriyaki sauce on the salmon and return it to the middle rack of the oven.
Continue baking for about 15 minutes or until the salmon is fully cooked.
Then serve the salmon and vegetables over your rice of choice (cauliflower rice works great for Whole30/Paleo). Option to drizzle more teriyaki sauce on top!
Recipe FAQs:
- Whole30/Paleo – To keep this Whole30/Paleo double check your teriyaki ingredients (try this store-bought kind or this homemade version) and serve with cauliflower rice!
- Cook Time for salmon: Cooking time for the salmon (15 minutes) is for salmon that is about 1 inch thick at its thickest part. If your salmon is pretty thick you might want to toss it on the pan at the beginning of the cook time with the veggies.
- Other Vegetables: You could easily throw other vegetables into the veggie mix, like mushrooms, water chestnuts, bell peppers, pea pods, and/or zucchini.
- Skin-on salmon or skin-off salmon: You can leave the skin on your salmon if you want or you can cook it without the skin – either way will work!
- Salmon in parchment/foil: You can definitely wrap your salmon in parchment paper or foil if you want! cooking time will be the same (unless your salmon is real thick).
- Instant Pot Jasmine Rice: I love making my rice in the Instant Pot – try this recipe if you haven’t done it before!
