Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce, or tamari for gluten-free
- ⅓ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated or minced
- ¼- ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
- 3 tbsp cold water
- 2 tsp corn starch
- 1 ½-2 lb center cut salmon filets, skin removed and cut into approx. 1 inch pieces
- 2 cups cooked rice
- 1 cup shelled edamame
- 2 sliced baby cucumbers
- ½ cup shredded or julienned carrots
- cubed avocado, sliced green onion or pickled onions, toasted sesame seeds, bang bang sauce, and more
Instructions
- Mix the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Reserve half of the marinade.
- Coat the salmon pieces with the remaining marinade and let it marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Place the marinated salmon in an air fryer basket in a single layer; do this in batches if needed. Cook at 400°F for 7-10 minutes until cooked through.
- Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 400°F on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes until cooked thoroughly.
- For the teriyaki sauce, combine cornstarch and cold water in a small bowl until dissolved, then add to reserved marinade. Heat in a small saucepan on medium until thickened, adding water if necessary to reach desired consistency.
- Once the salmon is cooked, mix it with the warmed teriyaki sauce or drizzle it over the salmon just before serving.
- Assemble the bowls with cooked rice, edamame, cucumbers, carrots, and salmon. Drizzle with any remaining teriyaki sauce before serving.
Notes
Marinate the salmon for longer for enhanced flavor—up to 8 hours if desired.
Feel free to customize the bowls with your choice of vegetables or toppings like avocado and sesame seeds.
