Ingredients

Teriyaki Salmon 

  • 4 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons sake
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced ginger

Coconut Rice

  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 15-ounce can coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper

Charred Scallion Vinaigrette

  • 5 scallions

  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
