A healthy and flavorful salmon rice bowl with teriyaki-glazed salmon, crunchy cabbage slaw, and optional rice base.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5–6 oz each)
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 2 tsp water (slurry, optional for thicker glaze)
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1–2 tsp honey
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
  • Pinch of salt + pepper
  • Sesame seeds
  • Sliced green onions
  • Chopped peanuts
  • Cilantro leaves
  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or jasmine) or cauliflower rice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make teriyaki sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Simmer 2–3 minutes. For thicker glaze, whisk in cornstarch slurry and simmer 1 minute more until glossy.
  2. Cook the salmon: Heat oven to 400°F. Place salmon on a lined sheet pan and brush generously with teriyaki sauce. Bake 10–14 minutes (depending on thickness) until flaky. Optional: broil 1–2 minutes for extra caramelization.
  3. Toss the slaw: In a large bowl, combine cabbages, carrots, and bell pepper. Whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice. Toss to coat.
  4. Assemble bowls: Add rice (if using), pile on crunchy slaw, top with teriyaki salmon, and drizzle with extra sauce.
  5. Finish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onions, chopped peanuts, and cilantro.

Notes

  • Use fresh salmon for the best texture.
  • For a thicker glaze, use the cornstarch slurry.
  • Adjust honey or sugar to your taste.
  • Broil salmon for extra caramelization.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
