Ingredients

For the Teriyaki Sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
2 tablespoons honey Adjust sweetness to taste.
2 cloves garlic, minced Fresh garlic is recommended.
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated Can substitute with ground ginger.
1 tablespoon rice vinegar For added tanginess.

For the Bowl

1 pound salmon fillets Fresh is best, but frozen works if thawed.
2 cups cooked rice White, brown, or cauliflower rice can be used.
2 cups fresh vegetables (e.g., broccoli, snow peas) Use any veggies you have on hand.
to taste sliced scallions For garnish.
to taste sesame seeds For garnish.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your air fryer or oven.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar to make the teriyaki sauce.
Cut the salmon into cubes or keep whole, then marinate the salmon in half of the teriyaki sauce for at least 10 minutes.

Cooking

Place the marinated salmon pieces in the air fryer basket or on a lined baking sheet.
Cook the salmon at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 8-12 minutes, or until flaky and slightly caramelized.
While the salmon is cooking, prepare your rice and steam any vegetables.
Once cooked, layer the rice and vegetables in bowls, top with salmon, and drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce.
Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, substitute salmon with cubed tofu. Customize your bowl with additional toppings like spicy mayo, sriracha, or chopped peanuts. Store leftovers in airtight containers and consume within 1-2 days for best flavor. Reheat using low power in the microwave.
