Teriyaki Salmon Recipe

If salmon if one of your favorite ingredients, this teriyaki salmon bowl recipe is a total winner! Salmon is super simple to cook; you don’t need to marinate it for hours, and it is super flavorful. The teriyaki salmon turns out flaky, moist, and absolutely delicious with sushi rice, avocado, edamame, scallion, and our delicious homemade teriyaki sauce.

How to make Teriyaki Salmon

Making a teriyaki salmon bowl is very easy: Start by cooking the sushi rice. In the meantime, make the sauce by mixing rice vinegar, brown sugar, and salt together in a small bowl. When the rice is ready, pour the dressing over and stir to coat the rice. Divide the cooked rice between bowls and sprinkle the rice with sesame seeds. Add edamame and sliced avocado to each bowl.

Make the Teriyaki sauce by mixing the honey, sesame oil, tamari (or soy sauce), garlic, ginger, and Sriracha in a small bowl. In a skillet over medium heat, heat oil and add the diced salmon filets. Brown the salmon quickly on all sides, then pour the Teriyaki sauce over the salmon. Turn the heat up to high and stir to coat the salmon in Teriyaki sauce; then sprinkle the scallions on top. Cook on high heat until the salmon is glazed and cooked to your liking. Divide salmon into the bowls.

Directions

1. To make this easy Teriyaki Salmon Bowl: Cook the sushi rice according to the packet instructions. Add a small dollop of butter to the rice if you like.

2. In the meantime, mix the rice vinegar, brown sugar, and salt together in a small bowl, stirring well until the sugar and salt have dissolved in the vinegar. When the rice is cooked, pour the dressing over and stir to coat the rice.

3. Divide the cooked rice between two bowls so that two-thirds of each base is covered. Sprinkle rice with sesame seeds. In the remaining third, arrange edamame and sliced avocado.

4. To make the Teriyaki sauce, mix the honey, sesame oil, tamari (or soy sauce), garlic, ginger, and Sriracha together in a small bowl.

5. In a skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil and add the diced salmon filets. Brown the salmon quickly on all sides, then pour the Teriyaki sauce over it. 

6. Turn the heat back up to high – stir so that the salmon is fully coated in the Teriyaki sauce and then sprinkle the spring onions over the top. Continue to cook on high heat for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, until the salmon is glazed and cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and scoop the teriyaki salmon and spring onions onto the sushi bowls. Serve the Teriyaki salmon bowl with extra tamari soy sauce on the side if you like. Enjoy! ❤️
