Instructions
- Start by mixing up all of the marinade ingredients.
Place the salmon in a shallow bowl, pour in half of the marinade and pour the remaining half in a small saucepan. Cover and refrigerate the salmon for at least 30 minutes. 
- Cook the brown rice and chop the cucumber and green onions and grate or use a peeler for the carrot. Heat the remaining teriyaki marinade to boiling then cook for a few minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat a little olive oil, add the spinach, season with salt and pepper and cook just for a few minutes until wilted.
- Now for the salmon, remove from the marinade, heat the oil in a grill pan or skillet over medium/high heat. Cook the salmon for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
- Now just assemble, divide the rice into two large bowls, place the salmon, cucumber, green onions, carrot and avocado on top of the rice and drizzle with the teriyaki sauce. Enjoy!
