Ingredients:
4 VÅRLAKS salmon fillets)

1 tablespoon of olive oil
200g fresh spinach
1 ripe avocado, sliced
2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice
Sesame seeds, for garnish

Salt and pepper, to taste
Steps:
- Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and honey (or maple syrup). Place the VÅRLAKS salmon fillets in the marinade for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until caramelized and cooked through. Set aside.
- Sauté the Spinach: In the same pan, toss in the fresh spinach. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Rice Bowls: Divide the cooked rice between bowls. Top each bowl with the sautéed spinach, sliced avocado, and the teriyaki-glazed salmon fillets.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for a little crunch and extra flavor. Serve with a lemon wedge if desired.
