These Baked Salmon Sushi Bowls take your weeknight salmon and rice to a whole new level.
Starting with a simple marinade for the salmon, these Baked Salmon Sushi Bowls just need a handful of ingredients to make your typical salmon and brown rice more exciting. And while the salmon is baking slow and low, you’ll make your dressing and get all of your toppings prepared. Then once your salmon is perfectly flaky, you’ll be all set to build your own bowls exactly how you’d like.

Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 1 1/2 lbs center-cut salmon
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- ¼ cup coconut aminos
- 1 tsp peeled and freshly grated ginger
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp white pepper
For the Dressing:
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp coconut aminos
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp sriracha sauce or to taste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
For the Bowls:
- 1 ½ cups cooked brown rice
- 1 avocado peeled and sliced
- 2 persian cucumbers thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 2 green onions thinly sliced on the diagonal
- 4.5 g package of premium roasted seaweed or nori wraps thinly sliced
- Sriracha optional for serving
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Make the Salmon:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Pat the salmon dry and place it in a small oval baking dish.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, coconut aminos, ginger, and sesame oil until well combined. Pour over the salmon to coat evenly. Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper and transfer it to the oven and bake until the salmon flakes easily with a fork, 25 to 30 minutes.
Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together all of the dressing ingredients. Set aside.
Prepare the Bowls:
- To serve, flake the salmon with a fork into large pieces. Serve over rice and garnish your bowls as desired with avocado, cucumber, green onions and nori strips. Drizzle with the dressing (and more sriracha) if desired. Sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy.
Notes
The salmon is cooked a little lower and slower so that you can prepare all of your bowl items and dressing while it bake, making the recipe come together pretty quickly and easily.

This was DELICIOUS! It was super easy to make and everyone loved it! The only change to the recipe was that I used white rice. Oh, and I was generous with the honey for the dressing. Yum!
One of the best salmon recipes we’ve tried! We live in Alaska with a freezer full of fish and are always looking for new ways to eat it. This will definitely go in our rotation. Highly recommend.
Made these bowls last night and WOW! Truly one of my new favorite recipes, and definitely my new favorite salmon recipe! I absolutely love how the entire meal comes together while the salmon cooks – this is a really flavorful and fancy meal that comes together quickly and easily. Thanks, Alex!!
So, so good! Don’t leave out the nori. So delicious. For a salmon-averse kid, i fried a couple of eggs and let her have that on top. Huge crowd pleaser and just as delicious for lunch the next day!
we made this tonight and it was fantastic!! We made a couple of addition with a touch of rice vinegar to the cucumbers and the rice and a squeeze of kewpie mayo on top of everything.
This was so good! My husband who doesn’t really like salmon loved it, too! Thanks Alex!
This recipe is a keeper!! My kids kept going back for more helpings. Adding this one to our regular rotation.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was so easy and delicious!! Will be making this all the time now!
Phenomenal!!! Couldn’t be any easier! The salmon was perfectly cooked and all the flavors are in incredible.
The marinade and dressing were so good! I air fried the salmon just for quickness and made a separate cucumber salad with a lot of the same ingredients (soy, ginger, and garlic). It all came together so easily. Will definitely be making it often!
Yummy! What brown rice did you use?
Hi Anne,
I buy the brown rice in the steamer bags from the freezer section (they sell at Whole Foods, Central Market, and Trader Joe’s for sure).
