Teriyaki-Glazed Grilled Salmon Barley Bowl

Created by: Howcan Team

The history of the Barley Bowl with teriyaki-glazed grilled salmon dates back to the fusion of Japanese and American cuisine in the Pacific Northwest. Renowned chefs in Seattle and Portland, such as Nobu Matsuhisa and Tom Douglas, were instrumental in popularizing this dish. The succulent salmon is marinated in a sweet and savory teriyaki glaze, then expertly grilled to perfection. The dish is served over a bed of hearty barley, mixed with fresh vegetables and drizzled with a tangy sesame dressing. Today, the best version of this dish can be found in upscale seafood restaurants in the Pacific Northwest, where the quality of the salmon is paramount. The key to getting this dish right lies in the balance of flavors between the teriyaki glaze and the freshness of the salmon, as well as the texture of the barley and the crunch of the vegetables. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate a hint of citrus or a sprinkle of sesame seeds to elevate the dish to new heights.
