Key Ingredients for Teriyaki Salmon Bowls
Here’s what you need to make these tasty salmon rice bowls at home: Complete list of ingredients and amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Sushi Rice: I’ll teach you the best way to cook perfect sushi rice on the stove! You can also use long grain rice if you prefer. Sushi rice seasoning or furikake makes the rice extra tasty. Salmon Filets: Use skinless salmon fillets, or ask the fishmonger or butcher to remove the skin for you. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes before cooking it. Homemade Teriyaki Sauce: It’s easy to make a sweet and savory sauce with tamari, rice wine vinegar, honey, toasted sesame seed oil, ginger, and garlic. The flavor is so much better than any bottled sauce you can buy. Garnishes: Half of the fun of a salmon rice bowl is decorating it with colorful fresh garnishes like green onion, avocado, cucumber slices, lime wedges, and radishes. Sriracha: For a bit of heat, drizzle your salmon bowl with hot sauce before serving. This is optional, so feel free to leave it out if you aren’t into spicy salmon bowls.
How To Make Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowls
Recipe Tips
Hot or Cold? You can enjoy your salmon bowls with hot rice and hot salmon, or serve either part of the recipe at room temperature. I think the salmon tastes best when eaten right away, but it’s delicious cold too. Pack up a bowl to enjoy for lunch tomorrow!Sweetener: Instead of honey, feel free to use brown sugar, maple syrup, or your favorite low-carb sweetener. Tamari: I enjoy the flavor of tamari and like that it’s gluten-free, but low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos work just as well.
Storing Tips
Salmon rice bowls can be assembled and kept in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, making them perfect for meal prep. You can also cook the rice and the teriyaki salmon, and store them separately for a few days. When you’re ready to eat, warm them up and assemble the bowls with fresh toppings.
