If summer had a flavor, this bowl would be it.

Packed with vibrant colors, tropical sweetness, and that savory teriyaki glaze, this high-protein salmon bowl is as refreshing as it is satisfying. It’s light, loaded with nutrients, and just the kind of feel-good meal you’ll want to make on repeat all summer long.

We start with juicy wild Alaskan salmon brushed with teriyaki sauce and seasoned to perfection—baked or air-fried until flaky. On the side, a tangy-sweet carrot ribbon salad made with Persian cucumbers, rainbow carrots, honey, rice vinegar, and a zing of ginger and garlic.

Then comes the tropical salsa: ripe mango, pineapple, fresh lime, and a sprinkle of chile-lime seasoning. To build the bowl, layer fluffy basmati rice, the teriyaki salmon, red cabbage, carrot salad, avocado, edamame, and that golden salsa. Top it all with green onions, sesame seeds, and an extra drizzle of teriyaki for that final pop.

This bowl clocks in at just 485 calories with 37g of protein and tons of flavor. It’s clean, colorful, and pure sunshine in a bowl. Want to see how it’s all done? Watch the full video below for step-by-step visuals you can follow with ease!
