Instructions: How to make salmon teriyaki donburi with sesame roasted snap peas

1.In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake (if using), honey, ginger, and garlic powder.
2.Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the teriyaki marinade over them. Marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3.Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add snap peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and set aside.
4.Wipe the skillet clean. Heat another teaspoon of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets skin-side down until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until just cooked through.
5.Divide cooked sushi rice into two bowls. Top each bowl with salmon, drizzle with teriyaki sauce, and sprinkle with roasted snap peas.
6.Garnish with pickled ginger and wasabi (if using) and serve immediately.
