These Teriyaki Salmon Bowls are packed with salmon bites which are seared until golden on the outside with a flakey center and then coated in a sticky teriyaki sauce which is served alongside tender shredded brussels sprouts, rice and quick pickled cucumbers. Leftovers will last for up to 4 days stored in the fridge.
In a bowl stir together the coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, orange juice and chili flakes. Cut the salmon into cubes approximately 1.5-2inches in size and place the salmon into the bowl with the sauce. Leave to marinate for 15-20 minutes while you prepare the rest of the bowl ingredients.
To make the cucumbers, in a bowl stir together the sesame oil, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar and honey. Thinly slice the persian cucumbers and add them to the bowl with the sauce. Press down on the cucumbers to ensure they are submerged in the liquid. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
Add 1 tsp sesame oil to a large skillet on medium high heat. Once hot add in the shredded brussels sprouts and saute for 2 minutes before adding in 2 large spoonfuls of the sauce that the salmon is marinating in. Saute for 5-6 minutes until the brussels sprouts are tender. Transfer to a bowl.
Give the pan a wipe out before adding the remaining 2 tsp sesame oil and once hot use tongs to add the salmon pieces to the pan. Make sure they are well spaced out and cook for 3 minutes until golden brown crust forms. Use the tongs to flip and cook on the other side for another 2 minutes and once golden brown in colour pour any of the remaining marinating sauce from the bowl into the pan and leave to cook with the salmon pieces for 3 minutes until it begins to reduce and slightly thicken.
Divide the rice between two bowls, add in the brussels sprouts and salmon pieces and spoon the sauce from the pan over the salmon. Remove the cucumbers from the pickling liquid and add them to the bowl, Spoon 1 spoonful of the pickling liquid over the rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and serve.
