Salmon
- 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons water
Bowls
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- ½ cup sriracha mayo
Garnish (optional)
- Red pepper flakes
- Sesame seeds
- Prepare Salmon: Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. Remove the skin if you prefer; it is edible but may not be to everyone’s liking. Using kitchen shears helps make skin removal easier.
- Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until fully combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the marinade, stirring gently to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 hour to enhance flavor.
- Cook Salmon: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the salmon cubes in batches to avoid overcrowding and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and crisped. The salmon should flake easily with a fork when done.
- Thicken Sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the cooked salmon and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon.
- Assemble Bowls: Place a bed of cooked white rice in each bowl. Top with honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame. Arrange ingredients creatively.
- Drizzle with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle sriracha mayo over the bowl and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes and sesame seeds for added heat and texture.
- Serve: Serve the bowls immediately to enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors at their peak.
Notes
- For skin removal, kitchen shears make it easier and safer than a knife.
- Marinate salmon in the refrigerator to ensure food safety.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when cooking salmon to ensure proper searing and avoid steaming.
- You can substitute white rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for a healthier option.
- Adjust sriracha and sriracha mayo quantities to control the spiciness.
- Leftover sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep sodium levels moderate.
