Prepare Teriyaki Marinade
In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth.

Place the salmon fillets on a plate, pour 2‑3 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce over each, and let them sit at room temperature for 10‑15 minutes.

Cook Jasmine Rice
Rinse 1 cup jasmine rice until water runs clear. Combine with 1¼ cups water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
