Recipe Notes :

Reduce the teriyaki sauce slightly longer for a thicker, stickier glaze.

Use brown sugar instead of honey for a deeper caramel-like flavor.

Swap rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a lighter bowl option.

Add veggies like edamame, corn, or bell peppers for extra color and crunch.

Brush extra teriyaki sauce on the salmon just before serving for maximum flavor.
