    A regular go-to quick meal

    Delicious and an easy weeknight dinner. Will make again. There are lots of possible variations that one could imagine.

    Quick and delicious. Used frozen salmon fillets from TJ's that I thawed in the fridge from that morning, and TJ's soyaki sauce, which was good but I'd like to try making my own teriyaki sauce sometime. I think this would lend itself well to many variations so I'll def make again. Might add more veggies next time -- radish slices and/or edamame, maybe?

    Tasty. Would be nice if the cucumbers were picked slightly

    I used the homemade sauce recipe (very good), which oddly didn't want to stick to the salmon. Cooking method for the fish was good, although I wanted mine cooked through, so left it an extra minute on the 2nd side; it was perfect and still moist. I didn't have cucumber or green onion, but added broccoli, edamame, and carrot instead (this dish needs more veggies anyway). Simple and good.

    Used tare recipe from Japanese Grill. Let the salmon sit in sauce for 15 minutes before going in the pan. Added snow peas for more veg but would have been ok without. Easy weeknight dinner.

    Easy and delicious! This is a recipe where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. All of the different flavors and textures go together so well. We made it with cauliflower rice and it turned very well—didn’t miss the regular rice at all. The avocado was a delightful surprise. It really contributes something wonderful to this dish.

    I agree needs more vegetables! Kids loved this and wanted leftovers for lunch. Hadn’t bought enough salmon so supplemented with tofu. Make sure to cook sauce long enough to thicken so it doesn’t pour too fast. (Used light brown sugar and tamari in sauce.)

    This is a great recipe- amazing flavor and very fast. I agree with Bloominanglophile that it could use more veg- snowpeas or broccoli would be good. I also would skip the avocado next time- I love avocado, but salmon is already such a fatty fish that I didn't think it was needed.

    This was the first "bowl" I have ever made--and it was delicious! The whole family enjoyed it, therefore it is going into my favorites/quick dinners file. I did make the homemade teriyaki sauce that he linked to in the recipe, and liked it so much more than purchased bottled sauces. We do want a little more veg next time, so I think I will try adding some snowpeas.
