Teriyaki salmon and quinoa bowl topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 cup tricolor quinoa
- 0.7 kg skinless salmon, cut into 4 cm pieces.
- 1/3 cup + 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp mirin (Japanese rice wine) or
1/4 cup each of spiced rice vinegar and water + 1 tbsp. honey
- 4 cloves garlic, grated
- 1 tbsp. chopped peeled ginger root
- 2 tablespoons of honey
- 2 green onions (white and light green parts only), thinly sliced + extra for serving
- 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 3 bunches small bok choy (about 0.5 kg), trimmed and chopped
- 170 g shiitake mushroom caps, thinly sliced
- Grated zest of half a lemon + wedges for serving
Preparation:
- Cook the quinoa according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine 1/3 cup each of soy sauce and mirin with three-quarters of the garlic, ginger, and honey. Add the salmon pieces and turn to coat on all sides. Let marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
- Stir in the green onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Cover and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the bok choy and cook until the leaves begin to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons mirin and lemon zest; season with pepper. Transfer the vegetables and mushrooms to a bowl.
- Wipe out the skillet and increase the heat to high. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the salmon and about a third of the marinade to the skillet (discard the remaining marinade). Cook until the salmon is browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Top each serving of quinoa with the vegetables, salmon pieces, and green onions. Serve with lemon wedges.
