Yuzu Miso Salmon Ochazuke is a comforting Japanese rice bowl that combines salmon, warm tea or dashi broth, and rice into one soothing dish. The salmon is marinated in a yuzu miso sauce, then air-fried until tender and flavorful before being placed over rice and finished with hot tea or broth.

Salmon is naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are known for supporting heart health, brain function, and helping regulate inflammation, making this bowl as nourishing as it is satisfying.

The salmon can easily be cooked in the air fryer, and the warm broth softens the rice, making it easy to digest too!
