Teriyaki Salmon with Gingered Brown Rice
Ingredients
- ¼ cup low-sodium teriyaki sauce
- ¾ cup sliced green onions, divided
- 1 ½ teaspoons minced ginger, divided
- 1 ½ pounds fresh salmon fillet, cut in 6 pieces
- 3 tablespoons low-fat olive oil and vinegar dressing
- 3 cups hot cooked brown rice
- 1 cup shelled edamame beans* or diagonally sliced snow peas
- ½ cup shredded carrots
- ¼ cup sliced green onions

Directions
- In shallow bowl mix teriyaki sauce, ¼ cup of green onions and ¾ teaspoon ginger; place salmon fillets in teriyaki mixture and marinate 15 to 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
