Salmon Rice Bowl Ingredients

This TikTok salmon rice bowl is booming now and is a favorite trend everyone is loving! I love this recipe because it is easy to make, full of flavor, and has all the health benefits of salmon and rice combined. It is filling and gives you that satisfied feeling. It really is the perfect combination!

• Salmon fillet – This recipe is meant for leftover salmon, but you can cook some up just for this recipe. We have some great recipes for salmon, including our Air Fryer Salmon, Miso Salmon, and Baked Lemon Salmon. You will take your cubed salmon and flake it into the rice.
• Rice – Again, this recipe calls for leftover rice. I have used long-grain white rice and also short-grain rice like sushi rice and it has all tasted great! You can also use jasmine rice too!
• Soy sauce – I like to use low-sodium soy sauce, because I don’t like too much salt, but you can use regular soy sauce or coconut aminos.
• Kewpie mayonnaise – This is a special kind of Japanese mayo. Regular mayonnaise won’t work. Kewpie mayo has a sweet and savory taste that is perfect for these Salmon Rice Bowls. You can find it at most Asian grocery stores or you can order it online.
• Sriracha – Use according to your spice tolerance! If you don’t like things very spicy, then just add a little bit of Sriracha.
• Avocado – The avocado adds creaminess and balances out the spicy flavor.
• Seaweed snacks – You can find seaweed snacks at almost any grocery store. They are cooked in a little oil and salt and they are the perfect crispy consistency. You can also get nori sheets and cut them up into little rectangles.

How to Make an Easy Salmon Rice Bowl

This salmon rice bowl comes from Emily Mariko’s famous TikTok recipe that went viral. I added my ingredients and instructions to make it my own and the best I could with the flavors I love. This is supposed to be an easy recipe that comes together quickly and easily in a matter of minutes!

1. Salmon – Flake the salmon with a fork. Place flaked salmon and rice in a bowl together. If using fresh, warm salmon and rice skip to step 5. If using leftover, cold salmon and rice, place an ice cube on top of the bowl.
2. Microwave – Cover with parchment paper. Microwave for 3 minutes. Uncover and discard any remaining ice.
3. Condiments and toppings – Drizzle soy sauce, kewpie mayo, and sriracha over the bowl. Stir until completely combined. Top with avocado slices.
4. Enjoy! Serve with seaweed snacks. Eat by placing an avocado slice and some salmon rice onto a seaweed snack.

Variations

This TikTok salmon rice bowl recipe is pretty much perfect, but sometimes I like to add my own flair. Take your simple salmon rice bowl to the next level with these helpful variations. Add texture with vegetables, change your protein, or switch the seawood. All these and more options for this delicious salmon rice bowl!

• Veggies – I like to add diced cucumber, bell peppers, or carrots for a little crunch
• Protein – If I don’t have salmon, then I make it with shredded chicken, diced shrimp, or tofu.
• Rice – You can also substitute the rice for brown rice or quinoa.
• Seaweed substitute – If you don’t have any seaweed snacks or nori on hand, then you can use furikake seasoning instead. Furikake is a Japanese seasoning blend typically made with dried seaweed, sesame seeds, salt, and sugar.
• Kimchi – I’m not a fan of kimchi, but kimchi is another great side dish with this bowl.
