Instructions

Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
Cook the Salmon: Heat your choice of cooking method (air fryer, grill, or oven) to medium-high heat. Cook the salmon fillets until crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, about 8–10 minutes depending on thickness.
Assemble the Bowl: While the salmon cooks, divide the rice into bowls. Arrange the avocado, cucumber, edamame, mango, and green onions around the rice.
Add the Salmon: Place the cooked salmon on top of the rice and vegetables.
Drizzle with Teriyaki Sauce: Spoon the teriyaki sauce over the salmon and garnish with fresh cilantro.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, and enjoy this vibrant, nourishing meal!

Notes

Low-carb option: Swap the rice for cauliflower rice for a lighter, low-carb alternative.
Vegetarian option: Replace the salmon with tofu to create a plant-based version.
Additional toppings: Add bell peppers, broccolini, zucchini, or roasted vegetables to the bowl for extra crunch and flavor.
Hot Honey Crispy Salmon Bowl: Try tossing the salmon in hot honey sauce for a sweet and spicy kick.
Spicy Salmon Bowl: Incorporate a spicy mayo made from Kewpie mayo, Sriracha, and honey for a fiery version.
