Ingredients
For the 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
For the Bowls
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- 1/2 cup sriracha mayo
- Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, sesame seeds
Instructions
- Cut salmon: Cut your salmon into 1-inch cubes. You can remove the skin or keep it on based on your preference.
- Whisk marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until combined.
- Marinate salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour, to absorb the flavors.
- Heat pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil to coat the pan.
- Cook salmon: Place the marinated salmon cubes in the hot skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a nice crisp exterior.
- Add sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet and cook with the salmon until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon well.
- Assemble bowls: Start with a bed of cooked white rice in each bowl. Top with the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber, and cooked edamame.
- Add sriracha mayo: Drizzle each bowl with sriracha mayo to add creaminess and extra spice.
- Serve: Finish by sprinkling red pepper flakes and sesame seeds over the top if desired, then enjoy your flavorful salmon bowls.
Notes
- Marinate the salmon for longer (up to an hour) for more intense flavor.
- You can keep the salmon skin on if you prefer, but removing it makes the texture lighter.
- Use low sodium soy sauce or tamari to control salt levels.
- Sriracha mayo can be made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha sauce to taste.
- Substitute white rice with brown rice or quinoa for a healthier option.
- For added crunch, consider adding sliced radishes or shredded carrots to the bowl.
