Print Recipe

A quick and easy teriyaki salmon rice bowl made with just five simple ingredients, delivering a sticky-sweet glaze over tender salmon served on fluffy rice. Perfect for busy weeknights and satisfying meals without fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz / 170 g each), fresh or thawed, skin-on or skinless
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium recommended)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cooked white rice (jasmine or sushi rice preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, and 2 cloves minced garlic until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Place them skin-side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Brush the glaze generously over the top of each fillet, saving some for basting halfway through baking.
  5. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, brushing with remaining glaze halfway through. Look for salmon that flakes easily but remains moist.
  6. While the salmon bakes, warm the cooked rice and fluff it with a fork.
  7. Let the salmon rest for a couple of minutes after baking.
  8. Assemble the bowl by spooning rice into bowls, topping with a salmon fillet, and drizzling any extra glaze or pan juices over the top.
  9. Optional: garnish with sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or steamed veggies.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing to help the sauce stick better and crisp the edges. If glaze starts to burn, tent salmon loosely with foil. Do not overcook salmon; it should flake gently but remain moist. Warm and fluff rice separately. Optional garnishes include sesame seeds and green onions. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy kick.
