Descriptions

The Perfect Balance of Sweet & Savory!
These bowls are all about contrasts that just work—sticky teriyaki salmon, creamy avocado, fresh mango, crunchy cucumbers, and warm rice. They’re packed with protein, omega-3s, and vibrant textures. A delicious way to nourish your body and satisfy your soul.

Directions

Step 1

Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil. Pour over salmon fillets and let marinate for 15–30 minutes.

Step 2

Cook the Rice: Cook jasmine or short-grain rice following the package instructions. Once done, set it aside and fluff with a fork.

Step 3

Sear or Bake the Salmon: Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Sear salmon skin-side down until crispy, flip, and cook until glazed and cooked through (about 3–4 min per side). Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.

Step 4

Prep the Bowl Add-ins: While the salmon is cooking, slice the mango and avocado, steam or microwave the edamame, and dice the cucumber.

Step 5

Assemble the Bowl: Add rice to bowls, top with salmon, mango, avocado, edamame, and cucumber. Drizzle with remaining teriyaki sauce or sriracha mayo if desired.

Pro Tips for the Perfect Bowl

✔️ Use ripe mango for a juicy pop of sweetness.
✔️ Add sesame seeds or crispy onions on top for texture.
✔️ Chill some components (like mango and cucumber) for contrast with warm rice.
✔️ Want it lighter? Swap rice for cauliflower rice or quinoa.
