Ingredients for Salmon Bowls

(Adjust quantities based on your serving size.)

  • Salmon (fresh or frozen, skin removed if desired)
  • Hot honey (adds a perfect balance of sweetness and heat)
  • Seafood seasoning (I used Old Bay, but any will work)
  • Rice (microwaveable frozen rice makes this extra easy!)
  • Mini cucumbers (sliced thin for crunch and freshness)
  • Avocado (creamy and rich—pairs perfectly with salmon)
  • Seaweed (optional, but adds texture and umami flavor)
  • Sriracha (for a little heat—customize to your taste!)
  • Black sesame seeds (for a nutty, toasty crunch)
  • Green onion (diced for a fresh finishing touch)

Step-by-Step Instructions for Salmon Bowls

*printable recipe card is available at the bottom of this page

Step One: Preheat

Preheat your oven or air fryer to 400°F.

Step Two: Remove Salmon Skin

If preferred, remove the skin from the salmon using the quick tip below.

Step Three: Cut Salmon

Cut salmon into bite-size pieces and coat with hot honey and seafood seasoning.

Step Four: Bake

Bake for 12 minutes in the oven or air fryer (or up to 20 minutes if using a larger cut of salmon).

Step Five: Prepare the Rice & Toppings

While the salmon cooks, prepare the rice, and slice the cucumbers and avocado.

Step Six: Assemble Your Bowl

Start with a base of rice, then add salmon, cucumbers, and avocado.

Step Seven: Add Toppings

Top with sriracha, sesame seeds, and green onions. Serve with seaweed for extra flavor and texture.

Step Eight: Enjoy!

Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for a ready-to-go meal prep option.

Easy Tip for Removing Salmon Skin

Want to remove the skin quickly and easily? Try this hack!

  • Place a wire rack over your sink.
  • Lay the salmon skin-side up on the rack.
  • Pour hot (almost boiling) water over the skin.
  • Watch as the skin easily peels away!

Ways to Customize Your Salmon Bowl

Make this bowl your own with different toppings and mix-ins! Here are some ideas:

  • For extra crunch – Add shredded carrots or sliced radishes.
  • For more protein – Mix in edamame or top with a fried egg.
  • For a different grain – Swap out rice for quinoa or cauliflower rice.
  • For a creamy touch – Drizzle with spicy mayo or a sesame dressing.
  • For a sushi-style twist – Add pickled ginger and wasabi!

Meal Prep & Storage Tips

These healthy salmon bowls are perfect for meal prep!

  • Make ahead: Cook the salmon and rice in advance and store separately.
  • Store properly: Keep ingredients in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat wisely: Warm the salmon and rice separately before assembling the bowl.
  • Enjoy cold: These bowls are just as delicious chilled, making them a great grab-and-go lunch option.
