Equipment

Ingredients

For the Salmon & Marinade:

  • 8 oz wild salmon fillet (skin removed, cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 2 ½ tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 ½ tbsp mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
  • 2 ½ tbsp sake
  • 1 ½ teaspoons honey

For the Bowls:

  • 1 ½ cup cooked jasmine rice ( or sticky rice)
  • ½ cup shelled edamame (steamed or thawed)
  • 2 mini cucumbers (cut into half moon chunks)
  • 1 scallion (thinly sliced)
  • ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds (or black and white)
  • sriracha or chili crisp (optional for serving)

Instructions

  • In a resealable bag or bowl, whisk together soy sauce, mirin, sake, and honey. Add salmon cubes and gently toss to coat. Refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes, or up to 8 hours.
  • Remove salmon and set aside. Pour the reserved marinade into a small skillet — you’ll reduce it for drizzling.
  • Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Lightly spray the basket with oil or use air fryer parchment.

Air Fryer Option

  • Arrange salmon cubes in a single layer and air fry for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway, until cooked through and caramelized on the edges.

Broiler Option

  • Place the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet lined with nonstick foil, and position the oven rack about 6 inches below the broiler. Broil the fish for 3 to 4 minutes.

Reduce the marinade

  • While the salmon cooks, bring the reserved marinade to a simmer in a small skillet over medium-low heat until it reduces by half and thickens, 3 to 6 minutes, stirring. Remove from heat.
  • Divide rice between two bowls. Top with edamame, cucumbers, and salmon cubes.
  • Drizzle salmon with reduced teriyaki sauce. Garnish with scallions, black sesame seeds, and optional sriracha or chili crisp.
