This simple salmon rice bowl brings you restaurant-level flavor in the simplicity of a home-cooked meal.

Simply amazing.

I crave this simple salmon bowl when I want sushi, but don’t want to spend the money out. Instead, it’s really easy to make a similar sushi-flavored bowl at home!

I love to make cooking easy on weeknights, so I wanted to share this recipe as it uses plenty of simple shortcut foods such as frozen edamame (simply microwave), microwavable brown rice (done in 3 minutes), as well as ready-to-eat cucumber, avocado, and seaweed. And the sauce gives it tons of quick flavor!
