Editor’s Note: This teriyaki salmon bowl recipe was originally published in July 2024 and has been updated and republished with refreshed content and helpful recipe information.

Tender salmon is coated in a simple homemade teriyaki sauce, then served over rice with crunchy vegetables, including edamame, carrots and cucumber. A drizzle of spicy mayo, along with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions, brings all the flavors together. It satisfies my craving for a fancy sushi or poke bowl, but with cooked salmon and ingredients I can easily prepare at home.

Easy Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

If you eat salmon as often as we do, these bowls are a delicious way to change up your usual salmon dinner. They have all the fresh flavors and colorful ingredients you might expect from a restaurant-style poke bowl, only the salmon is cooked. We feel like we’re dining out, but we get to enjoy the meal right at home.

These teriyaki salmon bowls may look complicated, but they are surprisingly simple to make. If you prepare the rice and edamame ahead of time, you only need to mix the sauces, sauté the salmon and assemble the bowls. The recipe makes two generous servings, but you can easily double it to serve four.

For a lower-carb option, substitute cauliflower rice for the cooked rice. You could also use zucchini noodles, although cauliflower rice will give you more of the traditional bowl experience. And while you can certainly use less spicy mayo, I find that hard to do!

Try these crunchy teriyaki salmon bowls tonight for an easy, flavorful meal that feels a little more special than an ordinary weeknight dinner.
