How to Serve Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

Adding green onions on top adds a nice touch of color and flavor. You could also offer extra teriyaki sauce on the side for those who enjoy a little extra flavor.

How to Store Teriyaki Salmon Bowls

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay good for about 2-3 days. To reheat, simply use a microwave or skillet until heated through. If you plan to store the components separately, you can keep the rice, salmon, and vegetables in their individual containers to maintain freshness.
