Today we’re making the most delicious Teriyaki Salmon Bowl, and it comes together in minutes thanks to the air fryer. The salmon gets perfectly tender with those caramelized edges we love, then it’s tossed in glossy teriyaki sauce and layered over a warm bed of rice. From there, we load it up with edamame, pickled onions, shredded cabbage, water chestnuts, and diced red pepper for crunch and color. It’s bright, fresh, and so flavorful — the kind of bowl you’ll want to make on repeat all week long.
