Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

Salmon is one of the most nutrient-dense foods out there with so many amazing health benefits! I love having full salmon filets, because when they are cooked well, they are truly such a treat. Salmon is so easy to cook and when paired with a delicious sauce and some veggies, it is the ultimate easy weeknight dinner or meal prepped lunch!

These teriyaki salmon bowls are a delicious and easy way to set yourself up for meal prep success! It’s made with a homemade teriyaki sauce, baked in the oven, and served with broccoli and cauliflower rice. This recipe is soy-free, paleo, AIP, whole30, and keto.

How To Make Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

  • Make Sauce: Preheat the oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce in a small saucepan and whisk well.

Can you make this recipe ahead of time? 

I find that this recipe is best fresh, though you can make it ahead of time and reheat it. I would recommend keeping everything separate and assembling when ready to enjoy!
