Overview

Why it works

Weeknight teriyaki that tastes like the takeout spot but hits macros. Salmon glazed sticky-sweet, broccoli charred hard, jasmine rice underneath catching all the sauce.

  • Salmon's omega-3s reduce training-induced inflammation.
  • Broccoli's sulforaphane supports liver detox on high-protein weeks.
  • Homemade teriyaki has half the sugar of a bottled sauce.

Ingredients

Ingredients · 2 servings

  • 2 x 170 g salmon fillets
  • 1 large head broccoli, in florets
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • Sesame seeds and scallion to finish

Teriyaki

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, grated
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water

Instructions

Step by step

  1. 1

    Whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, grated ginger and grated garlic in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Stir in the cornstarch-water mixture and simmer for 2 minutes until the sauce turns glossy and thick enough to coat a spoon; remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Preheat your oven to 220 °C / 425 °F; toss the broccoli florets with olive oil and a pinch of salt, spread on a sheet pan and roast for 15 minutes until the edges are dark and caramelized.

  4. 4

    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season with salt.

  5. 5

    Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, add a thin film of oil and place the salmon skin-side down; press gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to stop the skin curling.

  6. 6

    Sear skin-side down for 4 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.

  7. 7

    Brush the salmon generously with the teriyaki glaze and place under a broiler for 90 seconds until the glaze caramelizes and bubbles.

  8. 8

    Plate the jasmine rice, set the salmon alongside the roasted broccoli and drizzle any remaining teriyaki over everything; finish with sesame seeds and sliced scallion.

Pro Tips

Coach-level details

  • Do not stir the teriyaki after adding cornstarch - let it come to a slow bubble to activate.
  • Skin-side down first every time - it renders fat and crisps into salmon bacon.

Storage & Swaps

Keep it, swap it, save it

Storage

  • Refrigerates 3 days.
  • Salmon best gently reheated with a splash of water under a lid.
  • Label containers with the prep date.
