2 tablespoons teriyaki sauce, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, Pepper to taste
Then, pour the sauce over (or brush it on) the salmon and let it sit for at least 15 minutes to marinate it. You can double the sauce or make a separate batch to use a dressing. Don't use the sauce from the marinade.

Ways to cook salmon. My favorite is our air fryer salmon bites since it's so quick. But you can also make pan seared salmon easily or bake the salmon at 400° F for 15-20 minutes as well.
Cook the rice and broccoli while salmon is cooking.
1 cup dry white rice, 1 pound broccoli

Assemble the salmon bowls

Add ¾ cup of cooked rice to a bowl and divide the salmon evenly between bowls.
Add shredded carrots, sliced avocado, and broccoli
2 avocados, 1 large carrot
Garnish with the sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Drizzle with the homemade teriyaki sauce, yum yum sauce, sriracha mayo or other favorite Asian sauce.

Notes

Add addition veggies like edamame, zucchini, snow peas, red bell peppers and/or cucumbers.

Use white or brown rice, quinoa or a low carb alternative like cauliflower rice.

Use coconut aminos or Tamari for gluten free option.

Swap the honey for brown sugar.
