Instructions
For The Salmon:
Cut salmon into 1" cubes and place in a mixing bowl, or place the filets directly in. Pour about ¾ cup teriyaki sauce over top and combine until well coated. See photos above for a visual guide if desired.
To air fry: preheat air fryer to 400°. Place salmon cubes/ filets in air fryer so they aren't touching each other (it may take more than 1 batch to cook them all). Cook for 5-7 minutes for cubes, 6-8 for filets, or until they reach 140°F. No need to flip these halfway through. For more information on air frying salmon check out our **Air Fryer Salmon Bites**. After cooking, spread salmon with the remaining teriyaki.
To bake: Preheat oven to 400° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place coated salmon cubes or filets on the sheet, making sure they aren't touching each other. Bake for 10-13 minutes for cubes or 12-16 minutes until cooked through and flaky. Salmon is done at 140°F. Remove from the oven and brush remaining teriyaki on top.
For The Bowls:
Slice cucumbers, cabbage and green onions and grate the carrots. Start with a bowl of rice, then add the vegetables. Top with the salmon and drizzle with **bang bang sauce** or sriracha mayo. Garnish with green onions, cilantro and sesame seeds. Enjoy!!
We love this with sushi rice! Feel free to use a different grain here if desired, such as quinoa or brown rice.
The beauty of this bowl is that you can use whatever veggies you have on hand. We highly recommend including the cucumber for that refreshing crunch that pairs so well with the salmon, but otherwise use what you have on hand and create your own!
We love serving this with mango and pineapple on the side- we find they compliment the meal very nicely.
