Loaded Salmon Rice Bowls

Salmon Rice Bowl – fluffy rice topped with flavor packed quick marinated salmon, creamy avocado, and fresh vegetables. Finish with Kewpie Mayo, Sriracha, and Furikake Seasoning and it’s like a salmon sushi roll in a bowl.

Salmon Rice Bowl

Absolutely loaded with flavor, you can make the salmon in an air fryer or the oven. A quick asian inspired marinade elevates the salmon and pairs perfectly with a steaming bowl of freshly cooked white rice. Add the creamy avocado and fresh vegetables and you have an incredibly satisfying quick meal. This makes amazing leftovers, and its perfect for a meal prep! This has really become a family favorite recipe. If you have an Instant Pot, try my Instant Pot Salmon Rice Bowl.

Salmon Rice Bowl Ingredients

• Rice – use your preferred rice. I usually use short grain sushi rice or extra long grain rice prepared according to package directions.
• Salmon Portions – I used skinless salmon portions that are about 5 ozs each. I also love to make these with the frozen salmon portions from Costco. They thaw super quickly in water and are great to keep in the freezer.
• Olive Oil – for the marinade, any kind will work.
• Soy Sauce – to add that umami flavor, helps develop the quick flavor in the marinade.
• Toasted Sesame Oil – a small amount goes a long way when building flavor.
• Garlic – freshly minced for best results.
• Green Onions – a quick dice adds that fresh onion flavor to the marinade. Dice extra to top the salmon bowl.
• Avocado – creamy, ripe avocado makes the bowl extra satisfying.
• Mini Cucumber – adds the perfect fresh crunch.
• Shredded Carrots – use the large holes on a box grater.
• Kewpie Mayo –  a Japanese mayo that is extra rich because it’s made with egg yolks versus American mayo that is made with whole eggs. This will become a new kitchen staple.
• Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce – the popular hot sauce is perfect for adding a kick to your salmon bowl.
• Furikake Rice Seasoning – a dry Japanese seasoning adds texture and flavor.

WHERE TO FIND KEWPIE MAYO AND FURIKAKE RICE SEASONING

• The toppings plus the sriracha, which is readily available, really make the bowls. Don’t be afraid to top with a generous amount of Kewpie Mayo! It adds so much flavor. 
• Your usual grocery store might carry both items, mine does not carry either.
• Local Asian Grocery Store
• Cost Plus World Market – I have one close to my house and I have found both in their Asian grocery section.
