Teriyaki Salmon and Edamame Rice Bowls
Salmon fillets glazed in a quick homemade teriyaki, baked while the rice cooks, and packed with edamame and broccoli for four dinners. Salmon and edamame split the protein, so each box lands at 44 grams with the fats coming from the fish rather than the sauce.
