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.
