Salmon Bowl Recipe

Salmon Rice Bowls – A layered bowl made up of tender jasmine rice, glazed teriyaki style salmon bites, asian cabbage slaw, fresh creamy avocado and crisp cucumber. Then for a final finishing touch everything is drizzled with a spicy sriracha mayo. It’s a flavor explosion all in one bowl!

These salmon rice bowls are loaded with the works! It’s an abundance of fresh ingredients all piled together in one bowl for maximum flavor.

You get a harmonious blend of various textures, an exciting combination of flavors that all highlight each other perfectly, and there’s a visually pleasing variety of vibrant color.

It’s made up of nutritious ingredients and it’s such a filling dish. I’m a white rice fan lately but you can easily swap white jasmine rice for brown rice (regular, short grain, or jasmine brown rice) or quinoa.

I’ve also listed other various substitutes to use in this dish based on what you have on hand (see ideas below).
