What to Serve With This Salmon Bowl
We’ve already got everything going on in this bowl: protein, veggies, and a starch. But if you’re looking to save room for sides, here are a few great recommendations.
Ingredients
Here’s a quick glance at the ingredients. You can find the exact measurements in the recipe card below.
Salmon noodle bowl
- Salmon fillets (skinless & boneless)
- Instant Ramen noodles
- Broccoli
- Bell pepper
- Water chestnuts
- Sesame seeds
- Teriyaki sauce (you can use store-bought or try my homemade version)
Teriyaki sauce
- Water
- Soy sauce
- Garlic
- Brown sugar
- Corn starch
- Honey
- Fresh ginger
How to Make Teriyaki Salmon Ramen Bowls
If you’re using your own Teriyaki sauce, skip to step 4.
- In a small pot, combine the soy sauce, water, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and honey. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes or until it thickens a bit.
- Mix the cornstarch with cold water, whiskin it with a fork until there are no lumps and the cornstarch is fully dissolved; whisk it into the teriyaki sauce. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your preference.
- Set it aside to cool.
- Preheat the oven to 425º F.
- Take the salmon out and pat it dry with some paper towels. Hit it with a bit of olive oil and season it with salt and pepper. Brush a light coating of Teriyaki sauce over it.
- Pop it in the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the filets. You want to aim for an internal temperature of 140-145º F. (Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature).
- Using a steamer, steam the broccoli, bell peppers, and water chestnuts until they are fork tender, but still crisp. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Lastly, cook your Ramen noodles. To save room on the stove (and limit dishes), I wait until the veggies have finished steaming and use the already boiling water to cook the noodles.
- Drain the noodles once they’re ready and transfer them to bowls.
- Now you can brush the salmon fillets with your desired amount of Teriyaki sauce! Then place each over a bowl of noodles. You can cut your fillets into bite-sized chunks beforehand if you prefer, or just flake away at it in the bowl.
- Finally, add the veggies to each bowl and drizzle a little more Teriyaki sauce over your noodles and veggies if you’d like!
- Garnish with sesame seeds.
Helpful Kitchen Tools
- Sharp knife
- Cutting board
- Sheet pan
- Sauce pot
- Measuring cups & spoons
- Meat thermometer
- Steamer basket
- Whisk
Recipe Tips
- If the Teriyaki sauce ends up being too thick for your liking, simply water it down with a little water—1 TBSP at a time until you get the consistency you want.
- When brushing Teriyaki sauce onto the salmon prior to baking, be sure to be conservative with the sauce. Sugar burns under the heat, and you don’t want a charred glaze on your salmon.
- If you don’t have a steaming basket, you can steam your veggies by popping a strainer over a pot of boiling water. Place the veggies in the strainer and cover them with a large lid from another pot. You could also cook them in an air fryer or fry them in a pan if you prefer. I went with steamed because I love that fresh crunch!
Storage & Reheating Recommendations
If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat, you can either nuke them in the microwave or toss into a pan over the stove until heated through.

what do you mean by the rest of the ingredients as your first instruction? It doesn’t make any sense.
Fixed the recipe card for you, so it should make sense now. This is a super old recipe and the header instructions never carried over when I updated the site. Hope that helps!
A package of ramen noodle is good for the soul every now and then. :) I love how you described this dish (broke college kid meets lazy 30-something).Great idea for an impromptu dinner, Dana!
Thao! So funny, I was just thinking about you yesterday and thought, “I haven’t gone over to Thao’s blog in a while, I need to get over there!” Things have been hectic. Great to hear from you.
I wholeheartedly agree about the Ramen. It’s delicious in it’s most simplest form, and friggin’ delicious in elevated forms! I always wonder if the rumors are true – about the noodles being coated in wax. But moderation, right? Wax or not, who can deny how yummy they are?
