These bowls are the perfect easy, weeknight dinner that you can have ready in less than 30 minutes. The salmon is moist and flaky, plus flavorful and caramelized with a sticky teriyaki sauce. Pair with rice and fresh vegetables, and enjoy!
Ingredients
Teriyaki Salmon
12ouncessalmon fillet
1tablespoonolive oil
½cupTeriyaki Sauce,divided (use my homemade recipe or use your favorite purchased sauce)
Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. (See alternate instructions for using the oven in Notes below.)
Cut salmon fillets into 1.5” pieces and add them to a medium bowl. Add olive oil and ¼ cup of the teriyaki sauce. Fold to combine.
Carefully add salmon bites to preheated air fryer, in a single layer. Cook for 6 minutes at 400ºF. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sugar snap peas (below).
After 6 minutes, brush the salmon with the remaining teriyaki sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside.
Sugar Snap Peas
While salmon is cooking, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add sesame oil, then the sugar snap peas. Quickly toss to combine, then cook for 1 minute without stirring.
Stir the snap peas, then cook for 1 more minute. Add garlic and sesame seeds. Stir and cook for one final minute. Remove skillet from heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
Assembly
Divide cooked rice between two shallow bowls. Next divide the salmon, peas, pickled red onion, avocado, and carrots between the bowls. Garnish with sliced green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
To cook salmon in oven: Preheat broiler. Follow the same instructions while placing the salmon on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Make sure the salmon is approximately 6-8” away from the broiler to maintain approximately the same cook time.
