Teriyaki Salmon Bowl

A flavorful and healthy Teriyaki Salmon Bowl featuring tender salmon glazed in a homemade teriyaki sauce, served over rice with fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 1 tbsp water
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup edamame (steamed)
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 green onion, sliced
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  3. Season salmon fillets lightly with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the salmon skin-side down for 4-5 minutes. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.
  4. Brush the thickened teriyaki sauce generously over the cooked salmon.
  5. To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked rice between two bowls. Top with salmon fillet, shredded carrots, edamame, avocado slices, and cucumber.
  6. Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the bowl and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought teriyaki sauce if preferred.
  • Swap white rice with cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Leftover salmon can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
