Summer Salmon Rice Bowl (2024)

The Best Salmon Rice Bowl

During this time of the year we are always making our Strawberry Chicken Salad with all of our favorite seasonal fruit! We knew it was time to bring those same fresh flavors to a rice bowl recipe. Plus, swapping out the grilled chicken for fried salmon bites was the best decision. There is just something about perfectly seared salmon in the summer months. We cooked the salmon pieces on the stovetop, but feel free to toss them in an air fryer or on a Blackstone!

What You Will Need

• Greek plain yogurt – the creamy base of the homemade dressing.
• honey – a little bit for a touch of sweetness.
• minced shallots – a mild flavor addition to the basil sauce.
• rice wine vinegar – this vinegar adds the slightest bit of tanginess!
• olive oil – an essential ingredient when making any homemade sauce recipe.
• salt & pepper – simple seasonings that are always a must.
• cooked rice – any variety of rice works here – jasmine rice, basmati rice, brown rice, or even cauliflower rice.
• corn kernels – option to use canned corn, frozen corn, or we highly recommend grilling ears of corn and cutting off the corn kernels.
• feta cheese – a wonderful cheese topping that always hits the spot!
• avocado, strawberries, blueberries, & cherry tomatoes – love this combination of fresh ingredients, but feel free to use what you have on hand.
• balsamic glaze – a drizzle on top for some added flavor that pairs so well with salmon.
• fresh salmon – if you have skin-on salmon use a sharp knife to remove the skin before cooking.

Best Ways To Serve A Summer Salmon Rice Bowl

The beauty of this salmon recipe is that it is basically a meal in a bowl so there is no need to make any side dishes here. But if you want to add a little something, we highly recommend some grilled bread or crusty bread with a generous amount of butter! And a glass of wine or our favorite original mojito would be delicious too.
