Ingredients:
1 tsp. minced ginger root
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp. + 1 tsp. + 1 tsp. canola oil
1 Tbs. brown sugar
2 Tbs. dry sherry
5 tsp. reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp. cornstarch
2 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup chopped carrots
1 cup cooked brown rice
4 scallions, chopped
2 6 oz. skinless salmon fillets
Directions:
- Make the teriyaki sauce: In a small pan, sauté the ginger and garlic in 1 tsp. of the oil for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, sherry, and soy sauce. Mix the cornstarch with ¼ cup of water. Stir into the pan and cook until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
- Make the fried rice: In a large nonstick skillet, stir-fry the broccoli in1 tsp. of the oil over high heat for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the carrots, rice, and scallions. Stir-fry until hot, 1-2 minutes. Divide into 2 bowls.
- In the same skillet, sauté the salmon in the remaining 1 tsp. of oil until browned on one side, 2-3 minutes. Turn the salmon over, pour the teriyaki sauce over the fish, and cook for 1 minute. Top each bowl of fried rice with 1 fillet.
Also delicious with quinoa (or riced cauliflower!) used as a substitute for brown rice.
