1.5 tablespoons of Sriracha hot sauce
19 -
1/4 cup mayo
# Method:
01 -
Put all the sauce ingredients into a small pot on medium heat. Stir constantly as it comes to a boil. Let it cook for about a minute until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Let it cool completely before using.
02 -
Set aside 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce and pour it over the salmon fillets. Let them soak in the marinade for anywhere between 20 minutes to overnight.
03 -
Prepare the rice following whatever’s written on the package.
04 -
In an air fryer, cook the salmon at 400°F for 5-7 minutes until done. (If using an oven or grill, check the notes for adjusted times.)
05 -
Evenly divide the rice into serving bowls. Layer each bowl with the salmon, mango chunks, edamame, cucumber slices, and avocado pieces.
06 -
Drizzle remaining teriyaki sauce and, if you want, some Sriracha mayo over the bowls. Sprinkle chopped green onions and cilantro on top as a garnish.
