Ingredients
Scale
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 Ingredients
- 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
- Oil for cooking (such as vegetable or canola oil)
Instructions
- Cut Salmon: Cut your salmon into 1 inch cubes. You may remove the skin if you prefer, but it can be kept on.
- Whisk Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until well combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and mix gently to coat. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes, or up to 1 hour for more flavor.
- Heat Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil to prevent sticking and to crisp the salmon.
- Cook Salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the hot skillet, reserving the remaining marinade aside. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side, allowing the salmon to get a nice crispy crust.
- Add Sauce: Pour in the reserved marinade and cook with the salmon until the sauce thickens and coats the pieces, about 1-2 minutes.
- Assemble Bowls: Prepare bowls with a bed of cooked white rice. Top with cooked honey sriracha salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber slices, and cooked edamame.
- Add Toppings: Drizzle sriracha mayo over the bowls and garnish with a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and sesame seeds.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this balanced, delicious meal.
Notes
- Marinating the salmon longer will intensify the flavors but do not exceed 1 hour to avoid breaking down the fish texture.
- You can substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
- Use low sodium soy sauce to control the overall saltiness of the dish.
- The sriracha mayo can be made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha to taste if not using pre-made.
- For a spicier dish, add extra sriracha or red pepper flakes according to your heat preference.
