Let’s Dive into These Perfect Salmon Bowls

Ingredients:

• 5 salmon fillets (4-6oz each)
• 2 cups dry jasmine rice
• 1 1/2 cups edamame (shelled)
• 1 English cucumber (sliced)
• 6 green onions (chopped)
• 2 mangos (peeled and cubed)
• 2 avocados (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Sriracha mayo* (for topping, optional)
• 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch + 2 teaspoons water (mixed together for a cornstarch slurry)
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:

1. Make Teriyaki Sauce: To start, combine all the teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously, bringing it to a boil for about a minute until thickened to coat the back of the spoon. Let it cool; this sauce can be refrigerated for several days.
2. Marinate Salmon: Pour 1/4 cup of your homemade teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. Let them marinate for at least 20 minutes, or if you have time, overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Cook Rice: Prepare the jasmine rice according to package instructions, ensuring a fluffy base for your bowls.
4. Cook Salmon: If you have an air fryer, preheat it to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with non-stick spray and carefully place the marinated salmon inside. Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 125-135°F. If you prefer, you can bake or grill the salmon as well—just check the notes on those methods.
5. Assemble Salmon Bowls: In a bowl, start layering your ingredients. Begin with a scoop of rice, then add your succulent piece of teriyaki salmon on top. Finish with avocado, edamame, fresh mango, and crisp cucumber.
6. Garnish: Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce and a swirl of sriracha mayo if desired, then sprinkle green onions and cilantro for that fresh touch.
