Ingredients
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 salmon filets (4-6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons water
Bowl Components
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- 1/2 cup sriracha mayo
- Red pepper flakes, for garnish
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Cut salmon: Cut your salmon into 1 inch cubes. You may remove the skin if preferred, or leave it on for added texture and flavor.
- Whisk marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water to create the marinade.
- Marinate salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour for more intense flavor.
- Heat pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil to prevent sticking and promote crisping.
- Cook salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side to develop a nice crisp exterior.
- Add sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the salmon and cook until the sauce thickens and glazes the fish.
- Assemble bowls: Start with a bed of cooked white rice, then top with the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber, and edamame. Drizzle with sriracha mayo for creaminess and heat.
- Serve: Garnish the bowls with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and sesame seeds for added flavor and crunch. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Marinating the salmon for longer enhances the flavor but do not exceed 1 hour to avoid texture breakdown.
- You can use brown rice or quinoa as a nutritious alternative to white rice.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha in the marinade and mayo to control the spiciness of the bowls.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure soy sauce is tamari or gluten-free.
- Skin-on salmon adds a crispy texture when cooked; remove if preferred.
