Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use a different type of fish instead of salmon?
A: Yes, you can substitute salmon with other hearty fish like cod, halibut, or trout. Make sure to adjust the cooking time based on the thickness of the fillets, as some fish may cook faster or slower than salmon.
Q: Can I make the teriyaki sauce ahead of time?
A: Absolutely! You can prepare the teriyaki sauce up to 5 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and reheat it gently on the stove before using it to glaze the salmon or drizzle over the bowls.
Q: What can I substitute for honey in the sauce?
A: If you don't have honey, you can use maple syrup, agave syrup, or brown sugar as an alternative. Each will slightly alter the flavor, but they all work well to provide sweetness.
Q: How can I prevent the salmon from sticking to the skillet?
A: Make sure the skillet is properly preheated over medium heat before adding the salmon. Lightly oil the surface, and avoid moving the fillets too soon. Let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes on each side to allow a natural release.
Q: Can I use a different grain instead of rice?
A: Yes, you can substitute rice with quinoa, cauliflower rice, or even farro for a different texture and nutritional profile. Adjust the cooking method for the grain you choose according to its package instructions.
Q: How should I store and reheat leftovers?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm the salmon and rice in the microwave or in a skillet over low heat. Add a splash of water to prevent the rice from drying out, and drizzle extra teriyaki sauce to refresh the flavors.
Q: Can I make this dish gluten-free?
A: Yes, to make this recipe gluten-free, use tamari or a gluten-free soy sauce alternative. Double-check that all other ingredients, like cornstarch, are gluten-free as well.
