A fresh and flavorful Homemade Teriyaki Salmon Sushi Bowl, featuring tender salmon, teriyaki glaze, sushi rice, and crisp toppings for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 skin-on salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup uncooked sushi rice (or short-grain rice)
  • 1¼ cups water
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 2 tbsp mirin (or 1 tbsp rice vinegar + 1 tbsp water)
  • 1–2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tsp water (for thicker glaze)
  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup shelled edamame (thawed)
  • Nori strips or crumbled seaweed snacks
  • Pickled ginger
  • Scallions, thinly sliced
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sriracha mayo or chili crisp
  • Lime or lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Add rice and water to a pot. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes. Rest 10 minutes off heat.
  2. Mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Gently fold into the warm rice. Keep covered.
  3. Stir soy sauce, mirin, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic in a bowl. Set 2 tbsp aside for glazing at the end. Use the rest to coat the salmon. Marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  4. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high. Lightly oil. Pat salmon dry. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes.
  5. Flip salmon and spoon on some marinade. Cook for 2–3 minutes more, basting. If you like a thicker sauce, simmer the reserved teriyaki with the cornstarch slurry until glossy.
  6. Bake salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes, until just opaque and flakes easily (internal temp about 125°F for medium).
  7. Build bowls: Add sushi rice, then salmon. Drizzle with reserved teriyaki. Top with cucumber, avocado, edamame, nori, scallions, pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and a little sriracha mayo. Serve with lime.

Notes

Great for meal prep. Store rice, salmon, and toppings in separate airtight containers. Use tamari for gluten-free, and adjust sweetness as necessary.
