The base of this bowl is cooked tricolor quinoa tossed with a little soy sauce. The quinoa is divided into deep bowls and topped with pieces of fried salmon in teriyaki sauce and a stir-fried vegetable mix of bok choy and shiitake mushrooms. Before frying, the salmon pieces are marinated for a few minutes in teriyaki sauce, a mixture of soy sauce, mirin rice wine, honey, garlic, and ginger, infusing it with a wonderful bouquet of flavors. Serve the bowls sprinkled with green onions and garnished with a lemon wedge. It's delicious, healthy, and nutritious.

  2. Stir in the green onions and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Cover and set aside.

  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add the bok choy and cook until the leaves begin to wilt, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons mirin and lemon zest; season with pepper. Transfer the vegetables and mushrooms to a bowl.
