How to Make Teriyaki Salmon
Making a Teriyaki Salmon Bowl is simple. Start by cooking the sushi rice according to the package instructions. While the rice cooks, prepare the dressing by mixing rice vinegar, brown sugar, and salt in a small bowl. Once the rice is done, stir in the dressing to coat the rice, then divide it between two bowls, topping with sesame seeds, edamame, and sliced avocado.
For the teriyaki sauce, combine honey, sesame oil, tamari (or soy sauce), garlic, ginger, and Sriracha in a small bowl. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat, add the diced salmon filets, and brown on all sides. Pour the teriyaki sauce over the salmon, increase the heat, and stir until the salmon is glazed and cooked to your preference. Top with chopped scallions and serve the salmon over the prepared rice bowls.

Marinate the salmon in the teriyaki sauce for a few minutes, then place the filets on a sheet pan or baking dish and bake at 400ºF (200ºC) for 15-20 minutes, until fully cooked. Flake the salmon with a fork and add it to the rice bowls.
