Lime-Teriyaki Salmon Rice Bowls

I posted a recipe for a Salmon Teriyaki Stir Fry a while back and was craving something similar but not the exact same recipe. I found this recipe for an Asian Salmon Bowl with Lime Drizzle on Epicurious and doctored it up to suit my tastes.

This rice bowl is super satisfying and comes together really quickly. Feel free to experiment with different mix ins and toppings!

  • 1 cup cooked rice, white or brown
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 package (8 ounces) sliced baby bella mushrooms
