Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 5 salmon fillets (4–6 ounces / 113–170 grams each)
- 1 1/2 cups shelled edamame
Grains
- 2 cups dry jasmine rice
Fresh Produce
- 1 English cucumber, sliced
- 6 green onions, chopped
- 2 mangos, peeled and cubed
- 2 avocados, peeled, seeded and cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Teriyaki Sauce Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Optional Sriracha Mayo
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1.5 tablespoons Sriracha
Instructions
- Craft the teriyaki sauce by whisking ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer and stir until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, approximately 1 minute. Allow the sauce to cool completely.
- Submerge salmon in 1/4 cup of prepared teriyaki sauce, letting it marinate for a minimum of 20 minutes or refrigerate overnight for deeper flavor infusion.
- Cook rice following the package’s recommended method, ensuring fluffy and perfectly textured grains.
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Place marinated salmon in the basket and cook for 5-7 minutes until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Construct bowls by layering cooked rice as the base. Artfully arrange cooked salmon, sliced avocado, vibrant edamame, sweet mango chunks, and crisp cucumber on top.
- Enhance the bowl’s flavor profile by drizzling remaining teriyaki sauce and optional sriracha mayo. Sprinkle freshly chopped green onions and cilantro as a final garnish.
Notes
- Choose salmon with bright color and firm texture for the best flavor and freshness.
- Marinate salmon in sealed container to maximize flavor absorption and prevent cross-contamination.
- Customize bowl with alternative proteins like tofu or chicken for vegetarian or different dietary preferences.
- Prep ingredients in advance to create quick weeknight meal with minimal cooking time.
