Ingredients
Teriyaki Salmon
- 12 ounces salmon fillet
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup Teriyaki Sauce, divided (use my homemade recipe or use your favorite purchased sauce)
Sugar Snap Peas
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 8 ounces sugar snap peas
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Assembly
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- ¼ cup Pickled Red Onions
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 large carrots, shaved or thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
- sesame seeds, optional garnish
Instructions
Teriyaki Salmon
- Preheat air fryer to 400ºF. (See alternate instructions for using the oven in Notes below.)
- Cut salmon fillets into 1.5” pieces and add them to a medium bowl. Add olive oil and ¼ cup of the teriyaki sauce. Fold to combine.
- Carefully add salmon bites to preheated air fryer, in a single layer. Cook for 6 minutes at 400ºF. While the salmon is cooking, prepare the sugar snap peas (below).
- After 6 minutes, brush the salmon with the remaining teriyaki sauce and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside.
Sugar Snap Peas
- While salmon is cooking, preheat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add sesame oil, then the sugar snap peas. Quickly toss to combine, then cook for 1 minute without stirring.
- Stir the snap peas, then cook for 1 more minute. Add garlic and sesame seeds. Stir and cook for one final minute. Remove skillet from heat and keep warm until ready to serve.
Assembly
- Divide cooked rice between two shallow bowls. Next divide the salmon, peas, pickled red onion, avocado, and carrots between the bowls. Garnish with sliced green onion and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
To cook salmon in oven: Preheat broiler. Follow the same instructions while placing the salmon on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Make sure the salmon is approximately 6-8” away from the broiler to maintain approximately the same cook time.
