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))
• ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 Tablespoon sesame oil

Method

1. Make Teriyaki Sauce (can made and refrigerated several days ahead): Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for about 1 minute. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Allow to cool.1 min timer
2. Marinate Salmon: Pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the raw salmon and set aside to marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to overnight.20 min timer
3. Cook rice according to package instructions.
4. Cook Salmon: (I prefer the air fryer, but see baking and grilling instructions in notes.) Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. Spray basket with non-stick spray and place salmon filets inside. Air fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until cooked through (flakes easily with a fork, or about 125-135 degrees if testing with a thermometer).7 min timer
5. Assemble Salmon Bowls: Divide rice among the bowls and top with a piece of teriyaki salmon, some avocado, edamame, mango and cucumber.
6. Garnish: Drizzle teriyaki and sriracha mayo over the top and garnish with chopped green onion and cilantro.
