Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 salmon fillets about 6 oz each
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sriracha optional, for spice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ginger grated
  • 2 cups cooked rice white, brown, or sushi rice
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ½ cucumber sliced
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • 2 tbsp green onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method
 

  1. Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic powder, and ginger. Coat the salmon and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
  2. Cook the Salmon: Heat a pan over medium heat and cook the salmon for about 4–5 minutes per side, until fully cooked and flaky. Alternatively, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Rice: Mix warm rice with rice vinegar and salt for added flavor.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Divide rice into bowls, top with salmon (flaked or whole), avocado, cucumber, carrots, and green onions.
  5. Drizzle & Serve: Mix sauce ingredients and drizzle over the bowls. Garnish with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Swap salmon for tofu or shrimp for a different protein option.
  • Add a fried egg for extra richness.
  • Serve with extra soy sauce or spicy mayo for more flavor.
