Looking for a dinner that’s equal parts flavour-packed and nourishing? This Teriyaki Salmon Veggie Rice Bowl has you covered. It’s rich in colour, texture, and nutrients, loaded with vibrant stir-fried veggies, hearty salmon for a hit of protein and omega-3s, and finished with crispy toppings and a spicy mayo drizzle to bring it all together.
What I love most about this bowl (aside from how delicious it is) is how flexible it can be. Prefer chicken thigh over salmon? Go for it. Not a fan of microwave rice? Try serving it over soba noodles instead, just keep the noodles separate from the pan and layer everything on top when you’re ready to serve. You can also swap out the veggies based on what you have in the fridge, think broccolini, zucchini, or edamame for extra variety.
Whether you’re after something quick for a weeknight dinner or a meal that feels a little fancy without much effort, this one ticks all the boxes.
