Exact Ingredients List (+ Possible Substitutes)

I love how versatile this salmon bowl recipe is! Here’s my go-to ingredient list for a delicious meal:

1.2-1.5 lbs salmon fillet, cubed
1 cup sushi rice
Teriyaki sauce (soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, honey, ginger, garlic)
Fresh vegetables (cucumber, avocado, mango, edamame, carrots)
Spicy mayo (mayo, sriracha, sesame oil)
Toppings (green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds)

The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste or dietary needs. The key is to balance the flavors of the salmon, teriyaki sauce, and fresh vegetables for a perfect bowl every time.

Instructions

Let’s make this tasty salmon bowl! First, I make my own teriyaki sauce. I mix soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and ginger in a saucepan. Then, I let it boil and simmer until it gets thick.

Next, I soak salmon in a quarter cup of the teriyaki sauce. This can be for 20 minutes if I’m quick, or overnight for more flavor. While the salmon gets ready, I cook the rice as the package says.

When it’s time to cook, I heat my air fryer to 400°F. I cook the salmon for 5-7 minutes until it’s flaky. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake or grill it instead.

Tips, Tricks & Storing

I love meal prep, and this salmon bowl recipe is perfect for it! You can make the teriyaki sauce and chop veggies ahead of time. Just store each part in its own container in the fridge. The salmon and rice will stay good for 3-4 days when refrigerated.

Got leftover salmon bowl? No problem! You can freeze the salmon and rice for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, thaw them overnight. To reheat salmon, pop it in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. For the best taste, I suggest putting your bowl together right before you eat.

Want to check if your salmon is done? Use a meat thermometer – it should read 145°F. And don’t be afraid to try different kinds of rice. Jasmine or basmati can add a nice twist to your bowl. Remember, the key to a great meal is in the prep!
