Step-by-Step Instructions 👩‍🍳

Step 1: Make the Teriyaki Glaze

1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.

2. Simmer over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently.

3. (Optional) To thicken the sauce, mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp water and stir it in. Simmer until thickened.

4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2: Marinate the Salmon

1. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki glaze over them.

2. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 hour for deeper flavor).

3. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 3: Roast the Vegetables

1. Toss sweet potatoes and bell peppers with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

2. Spread evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 4: Bake the Salmon

1. Place the marinated salmon fillets on a foil-lined baking sheet.

2. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

3. Brush with remaining teriyaki glaze before serving.

Step 5: Prepare the Sides

2. Boil eggs for 6-7 minutes, then place in an ice bath before peeling.

2. Add steamed edamame and soft-boiled eggs.

4. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
