# Ingredients:

→ Base Layer

01 - 2 cups uncooked jasmine rice
02 - 5 salmon portions, 4-6 oz each

→ Add-Ons

03 - 6 green onions, sliced
04 - 2 peeled, cubed mangos
05 - 2 avocados, seeded, peeled, and diced
06 - 1 1/2 cups edamame, without shells
07 - 1 English cucumber, chopped thinly
08 - 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

→ Savory Sauce

09 - 1/2 cup soy sauce, reduced sodium
10 - 1/4 cup plus another tablespoon of light brown sugar
11 - 2 tablespoons vinegar (rice wine)
12 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
13 - 1 tablespoon honey
14 - 1 clove garlic, finely minced
15 - 3/4 teaspoon ground ginger powder
16 - Mix 2 teaspoons cornstarch with equal water
17 - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

→ Optional Spicy Mayo

18 - 1 1/2 tablespoons Sriracha
19 - 1/4 cup mayo

# Instructions:

01 - Stir all sauce items in a small pan on medium heat. Raise the heat until it boils and thickens slightly (in about a minute as you stir). Let it cool before using.
02 - Coat the salmon completely with 1/4 cup of the sauce and leave it to absorb the flavors from at least 20 minutes to overnight.
03 - Follow your rice box's instructions to cook it right.
04 - Pop salmon into an air fryer at 400°F and cook for 5-7 minutes until done (read notes for grilling/baking directions).
05 - Scoop rice evenly into bowls, then pile on salmon, cucumber, edamame, avocado, and mango.
06 - Pour leftover teriyaki sauce and, if you like, the spicy mayo on top. Sprinkle cilantro and green onions for extra flair.

# Notes:

01 - You can prep the sauce days before using.
02 - Swap in cauliflower rice for fewer carbs.
03 - Replace salmon with tofu to make it vegetarian.
04 - To make it gluten-free, use soy sauce labeled GF.
