This teriyaki salmon dish comes together quickly for a healthy and delicious weeknight meal. Bake the salmon and broccoli together, then serve in a bowl with rice, veggies and creamy avocado.
Let’s talk about this heart-healthy dinner recipe you’ll want to make time and time again — baked teriyaki salmon with roasted broccoli, freshly grated carrots, red cabbage and creamy avocado. The salmon and broccoli are roasted together on one sheet pan for easy clean-up. If you line the pan with parchment, there’s almost no clean-up involved! And if you marinate the salmon and make your rice ahead of time, the dish comes together in about 20 minutes! Perfect for a weeknight meal when you need to get dinner on the table fast.

How to Make Teriyaki Salmon
If you’re making homemade teriyaki sauce, start by whisking together all of the ingredients in a small bowl. In a shallow baking dish, pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over the salmon fillets. I like to spoon the sauce over the salmon to make sure each piece is coated really well!! Let the salmon marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes but up to four hours. While your salmon is marinating, toss the chopped broccoli with oil and a little bit of salt.
Prep a baking sheet by lightly greasing. Place the marinated salmon skin side down on one half of the baking sheet and add the broccoli to the other half. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and the broccoli is roasted.
While your salmon and broccoli bakes, cook your rice. Then it’s time to assemble! Add rice to the bowl and add salmon, roasted broccoli, cabbage, carrots, avocado, a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of the remaining teriyaki sauce. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds and serve!
I love the combo of flavors in this baked teriyaki salmon bowl — from the sweet and savory teriyaki salmon to the crunchy fresh veggies with the roasted broccoli and creamy avocado. This meal is really simple but tastes like something you could order at a restaurant. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Ingredients
1/3 cup teriyaki sauce (use recipe below or San-J Teriyaki)
2 (4-ounce) salmon fillets
3 cups chopped broccoli florets
1/2 Tablespoon avocado or melted coconut oil
1 cup cooked white or brown rice
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1/2 bunch green onions, chopped
1/2 avocado, quartered and sliced
1 lime, quartered

Homemade Teriyaki Sauce
1 Tablespoon avocado oil
¼ cup low sodium tamari (or soy sauce)
½ Tablespoon maple syrup
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
½ teaspoon fresh ginger, grated or minced
Instructions
Make homemade teriyaki sauce (if using) by whisking together all ingredients in a small bowl.
In a shallow baking dish, pour 1/4 cup of the teriyaki sauce over salmon fillets and use a spoon to make sure each piece is coated. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, but up to four hours. Meanwhile toss chopped broccoli with oil and a bit of sea salt.
Preheat oven to 425ºF and lightly grease a baking sheet.
Place marinated salmon fillets (skin side down) on one half of the prepared baking sheet and add broccoli to the other half.
Bake until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily and broccoli is roasted, about 15-20 minutes. Cook or reheat rice while the salmon and broccoli are baking.
Grab two bowls, add rice and top each with a fillet of salmon, cabbage, carrots, green onions, avocado, a squeeze of lime and a drizzle of remaining teriyaki sauce. Top each salmon filet with a sprinkle of sesame seeds, if using. Serve immediately.

My daughter asked for Teriyaki Salmon and this is the first recipe that came up. We followed the recipe exactly (except I added a little extra maple syrup), and used brown rice. It was truly amazing! I couldn’t believe how well the avocado went with everything. I’ll be making this regularly!
Ahh yay, that makes me so happy to hear!! I’m so glad this recipe was a hit. Thanks for making it and for coming back to leave a review. I so appreciate it. 🙂
The first time I made this my whole family told me I could make this every week and they’d be happy. I didn’t make it the next week and they all complained! So looks like it will be on our weekly menu for a while. Good thing it’s so healthy and super easy to make!
I make this almost every week! My boyfriend is just in love with this dish, too. Honestly, I could eat this every day. It’s the perfect comforting and healthy meal + it makes fantastic leftovers the next day, too! 🙂
I just made these bowls for a quick healthy lunch and my gosh – so so tasty! Recipe couldn’t have been easier and I used pre made brown rice bowls so even quicker.
I made these last night and it was out of this world. I forget to pull out the Salmon earlier and marinate them, so I only let it marinate for 30 minutes, but it was still outstanding. However, when I marinated them I had them in a pyrex dish and I ended up just sticking that whole thing in the oven to allow them to cook in the juice. I am sharing this with everyone!

Awww yay!!! I’m so glad you loved this recipe, Julie!! Thank you for sharing with your friends too. 🙂
Love how quick and easily this meal comes together! Would be great any night of the week!
I’m not a big fan of teriyaki, but I love how easily this comes together! I’ll just use a different sauce.
Great idea! I bet this miso salmon or this maple soy salmon would work great for these bowls!
Now this is my idea of a quick and tasty weeknight meal! I love teriyaki salmon + all the crunchy veggies!
Thanks Bethany. I hope you get a chance to try these bowls. The combo of flavors is really good and it’s super easy too!
