Ingredients
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (4–6 ounces each), skin removed if preferred
- 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons water
For the Bowls:
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- ½ cup sriracha mayo
- Red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
-
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water.
- Marinate the Salmon: Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and coat them with the marinade. Let them sit for at least 20 minutes (or up to 1 hour for more flavor).
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat with a bit of oil. Add the marinated salmon cubes and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until caramelized and cooked through. Pour in any remaining marinade and let it reduce slightly to coat the salmon.
- Assemble the Bowls: Divide cooked rice into bowls and top with salmon, avocado slices, cucumber, and edamame. Drizzle with sriracha mayo and sprinkle with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Dig in while it’s warm and enjoy this flavor-packed meal!
