Well, the holidays are over, and perhaps your bank account’s looking a little thinner than you’d hoped?! Before you resign yourself to a month of instant ramen, I have a better idea!
I say we ditch the takeout menus and expensive reservations and start 2024 by cooking at home!
With a little planning, you can have all the delicious flavors of your favorite restaurant meals, but for a fraction of the price. Plus, when you cook at home you get to control the ingredients, the portions, and the atmosphere… dinner in pajamas is always acceptable at my house!
If you need some inspiration, I have a recipe for a Teriyaki Salmon Bowl that is just as good as your local takeout but is much easier on your wallet.
My dish starts with a package of Knorr Teriyaki Noodles! Like all Knorr Sides, they are packed with flavor and so easy to prepare. Those tasty noodles are the perfect base to a hearty bowl that’s packed with amazing flavor. And since they are on sale right now at Publix, you can grab a deal and create a delicious meal that’s budget-friendly too! A winning combination in my book.
Knorr Pasta, or Rice Sides, 4 to 5.7 oz. 4/$5 – valid 12/30 – 1/12
–$1/4 Knorr Pasta, or Rice Sides, 4 to 5.7 oz (Publix Digital Coupon)
Just $1 each after coupon!
Now the recipe I am sharing is the version that I prefer… but, it’s totally open to customization. If you can’t get a good price on salmon, change it up and use chicken or even pork. If edamame is not your thing, replace them with another veggie you love. You can use the recipe as a springboard to help you create your perfect meal to enjoy at home.
Skip the overpriced specials and crowded restaurants this year. Instead, grab your favorite Knorr Rice Sides, fire up the stove, and whip up a restaurant-worthy feast that’s kind to your budget. Your taste buds (and your bank account) will thank you for it!

Instructions
SALMON
- Place the soy sauce, water, mirin, brown sugar, granulated sugar, garlic, ginger and onion powder in a small sauce pan and cook on medium heat, whisking until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool.
- Place the salmon bites in a dish and pour over the prepared sauce. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours, or at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 450º F. Lightly coat a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Place the salmon bites on the prepared pan, reserving the extra marinade. Bake at 450º F for 12 minutes.
- While the salmon cooks, add the corn starch to 1/2 tablespoon of water and mix to combine.
- Pour the slurry into pan with the reserved teriyaki sauce and stir.
- Simmer on medium high heat until thickened. Remove from heat and reserve until ready to assemble the bowls.
NOODLES
- While the salmon cooks, prepare the Knorr Sides. In medium saucepan, bring the water and 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (optional) to a boil. Stir in contents of the Knorr Sides package. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes then add the bok choy. Cook another 2 - 3 minutes until noodles are tender. Let stand about 2 minutes.
BOWL ASSEMBLY
- To serve, divide the prepared Knorr Teriyaki Noodles into 4 bowls and top each with edamame, sliced cucumber, carrots and the prepared salmon bites. Drizzle with the prepared teriyaki sauce and serve with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
