I don’t know about you, but I love an easy, yummy dinner recipe that comes together in under 30 minutes — perfect for those busy weeknights (and like…which weeknights aren’t?). These Teriyaki Salmon Bowls combine two of my favorite things in an easy, balanced dinner – the air fryer and serving it in a bowl!

Reasons You’ll Love This Recipe:

30-Minute Dinner. Technically 23 minutes! I cook the salmon and broccoli all at once in the air fryer to cut down on time – both cooking time and clean up time.
Simple and Balanced. Healthy meals don’t need to be overly complicated, and these salmon bowls are the perfect example. Simple base components (salmon, broccoli, and rice), but with simple seasonings and sauces for a flavor-packed meal.
Flavorful. With few ingredients, I’m picky about making sure we’re maximizing the flavor and getting the most out of each ingredient. Our flavor enhancers here include teriyaki sauce (use your favorite, or make your own), sesame oil, garlic powder and ground ginger.
Nutritious. Between the antioxidant and fiber-rich broccoli and the salmon full of protein and heart healthy fats, this easy dinner is packed with nutrition.
Meal Prep-Friendly. I’m a huge fan of meal prep, and these teriyaki salmon bowls make an easy, delicious meal prep option.

ingredients to make teriyaki salmon bowls

Salmon – you’ll need two salmon fillets, approximately 6 ounces each. And they can be skin-on or skinless — your choice!
Broccoli – fresh broccoli florets are used to keep the cooking process efficient while cooked with salmon in the air fryer.
Rice – this is the base of your bowl! If rice isn’t your thing, try quinoa, farro, cauliflower rice, or a noodle like soba or stir fry noodles.
Teriyaki Sauce – you can certainly make your own teriyaki sauce, but if you have another version you enjoy and want to keep it convenient, just use your favorite store-bought teriyaki sauce. This gets baked directly onto the salmon and also drizzled on at the end.
Oils – I use a combination of high-heat tolerant and heart healthy avocado oil, plus flavorful sesame oil on the broccoli.
Seasonings – keep it simple but flavorful with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and ground ginger.

Start by placing the salmon fillets in the air fryer. Season with salt and pepper, then brush teriyaki sauce all over the top and sides of the salmon. In a separate bowl, season the broccoli florets.

Nestle the broccoli around the salmon fillets in the air fryer. Air fry at 400 for 10-13 minutes. Once done, serve over rice and garnish with more teriyaki sauce, green onion, and sesame seeds.

Tips and Variations

Don’t overcook the salmon! If you’ve had salmon and felt like it was dry and rubbery, it was overcooked! Salmon is done when it becomes opaque and light pink. I like to use a meat thermometer to temp it – when fish reaches 145 degrees internally, it’s done!
Don’t like crispy air fried broccoli? Try steaming the broccoli instead! Once you season it, place it in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with saran wrap, and microwave for 4-6 minutes until the broccoli is tender.
Swap different vegetables – we also enjoy this with green beans, stir fry vegetable blend, bell peppers, mushrooms, or even with a cold salad on the side, like my Asian-inspired carrot and cucumber salad or edamame cucumber salad.

Meal Prep: Storing & Reheating

These teriyaki salmon bowls are great for meal prep! I like to plate everything in a single compartment glass container, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, I reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, until everything is heated through.
