15 Min Salmon Rice Bowl

Julia
Enjoy a simple and healthy Salmon Bowl recipe! Preparing this single serving of glazed salmon in the oven is a breeze. We love to serve this poke bowl on a bed of rice, top with avocado, cucumber, nori, edamame, green onions, and cilantro for a burst of flavor and freshness.

INGREDIENTS
  

For Salmon

  • 4-5 ounce salmon fillet
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • teaspoon ground ginger
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For The Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce, I used low sodium
  • 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce

For Serving

  • ¼ cup edamame, I used frozen and thawed
  • ¼ cup cucumber, sliced
  • 1 half avocado
  • ¼ - ½ cup uncooked rice, rinsed, I used sushi rice
  • sesame seeds
  • green onions/scallions
  • red chili flakes
  • nori paper, sliced into thin strips

INSTRUCTIONS
 

  • Combine the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Start cooking the rice now or use any leftover rice and reheat it.
    1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce, ¼ - ½ cup uncooked rice
  • Cut the salmon into cubes and season with salt, pepper, ginger, and onion powder. Allow it to marinate for 5 minutes.
    4-5 ounce salmon fillet, ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (204°C) and prepare a small baking dish or sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Arrange the salmon in the dish and bake for 8 minutes. You may spray lightly with oil, but it is not neccessary as we will be adding the glaze later.
  • Brush the salmon with the prepared sauce, ensuring all the sides get coated. Return it to the oven for an additional 3 minutes. For a finishing touch, set the broiler to high for the last 2 minutes, but monitor closely as every oven may vary.
  • Serve with sushi rice, cucumber, edamame and more favorite toppings!
    ¼ cup edamame, ¼ cup cucumber, 1 half avocado, sesame seeds, green onions/scallions, red chili flakes, nori paper

NOTES

  • To Store. If you make it more than a single serving, keep leftover rice, veggies, and sauce separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. While salmon tastes best when freshly made, you can refrigerate leftovers for an additional day.
  • To Reheat. Gently warm the rice in a large skillet over medium-low heat or in the microwave until heated through. For salmon, I let it come to room temperature or reheat it very little.
  • Make It In An Air Fryer:
    • To cook salmon in the air fryer, preheat it to 400°F.
    • Spray the basket with non-stick spray and place the salmon fillet inside. Air fry for approximately 5-6 minutes until it's cooked through (easily flakes with a fork or reaches an internal temperature of 125-135°F if using a thermometer).
  • Make It On The Grill:
    • For grilled salmon, keep the filet/filets whole. Take the salmon out of the marinade and lay them skin side down on a medium heat grill. Close the lid and cook for roughly 5-6 minutes.
    • Flip the salmon, placing the flesh side down on the well-oiled grill, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon reaches 145°F. Then, transfer it to a plate and enjoy!
