Keto Salmon Teriyaki Bento Box

Ingredients

• 2 6 oz Salmon Fillets
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tbsp Erythritol
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1 tsp Ginger
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum
• 2 cups Cauliflower Rice
• 1 cup Green Beans
• 1 tsp Sesame-free Toasted Seeds (e.g. sunflower seeds)
• 1 tbsp Avocado Oil

Instructions

1. 1In a small saucepan (e.g., 1-quart size), combine the 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Tamari for gluten-free), 1 tbsp Erythritol, 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar, 1 tsp Ginger, 1 clove Garlic (minced), and 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum. Heat over low heat (approximately 200°F / 93°C) for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and set aside.
2. 2In a medium skillet (e.g., 10-inch size), add the 1 cup Green Beans. Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat (approximately 250°F / 120°C) for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the green beans are tender-crisp and bright green. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. 3In the same medium skillet (e.g., 10-inch size), add the 2 cups Cauliflower Rice. Cook over medium heat (approximately 300°F / 150°C) for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through. Transfer the cauliflower rice to a separate bowl and set aside.
4. 4Heat the 1 tbsp Avocado Oil in a large skillet (e.g., 12-inch size) over medium-high heat (approximately 375°F / 190°C) until shimmering. Carefully place the 2 6 oz Salmon Fillets, skin-side down, into the hot oil. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
5. 5Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) when measured with a food thermometer at the thickest part, and the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Reduce the heat to medium-low (approximately 250°F / 120°C).
6. 6Brush the prepared teriyaki sauce generously over all sides of the cooked salmon fillets. Cook for 1 minute on each side, allowing the sauce to caramelize slightly and coat the fish. Divide the cooked 2 cups Cauliflower Rice, 1 cup Green Beans, and the 2 6 oz Salmon Fillets into separate compartments of two bento boxes or serving plates. Sprinkle the 1 tsp Sesame-free Toasted Seeds over the salmon or green beans before serving.
