Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowl
There’s a new culinary trend taking the world by storm — food bowls. What initially appeared to be a “fleeting fashionable trend”, because of social media has over the years become a permanent and popular restaurant menu item.
But what defines a food bowl? As the name suggests, it is a dish in which ingredients of different colors, flavors, and textures are served in a bowl to create a complete and balanced meal. To summarise, it is a feast for both the palate and the eyes combined in one bowl.
Asian-inspired rice bowl that is loaded with tender salmon coated in a sticky-sweet Teriyaki glaze, fluffy rice and crunchy, vibrant veggies for a satisfying meal.
Reasons to Love this Recipe
- WHOLESOME: Salmon is a good source of high-quality protein, the fresh vegetables provide nutrients, rice provides carbs and avocado adds in healthy fats. In short, this bowl is full of nutritious goodness!
- QUICK AND EASY: This bowl might look like a lot of ingredients and steps, but it comes together very quickly and is one of those easy weeknight meals that you don’t have to think too hard about.

The best part about making this bowl is that it’s a blueprint for a recipe that you can easily customize as per your tastes! Here are some of the variations:
- Switch up the starch: I love white rice, but it’s so easy to mix things up by swapping in brown rice, couscous, quinoa, or cauliflower rice if you’re looking for a low carb option.
- Use veggies of your choice: : Use up those veggies stashed way back in the refrigerator like sauteed mushrooms, bell peppers, roasted brocolli, shredded white cabbage. Anything that your precious heart wants!
The teriyaki sauce and the rice can be made a day in advance and the veggies (apart from the avocados) can all be chopped before time.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to pat the pieces of salmon with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. That is the key to getting the salmon crispy.
- Cooking the salmon over high heat will allow you to achieve super crispy skin with a moist and juicy interior.
- The best way to store the leftovers is by keeping all the ingredients separately and assembling them right before eating.
