Asian-Inspired Salmon Bowls

These salmon bowls satisfy the asian cravings I get for sushi, even though the salmon is cooked. It has all the flavors I love melded together in a bowl. I used the salmon marinade and glaze from a recipe on HungryHappens.net called Killer Crack Salmon Muffins. But I made it into the bowls on the HungryHappens.net called Crispy Spicy Salmon Bowls. I thought the marinade would be wonderful and didn’t want to miss out on salmon cooked that way. I omitted the salmon caviar in the bowl, because I just don’t use that kind of ingredient very often. Maybe I will include one day. The bowls are excellent without!
