Ingredients

Scale

Salmon Marinade:

  • 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Salmon: Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and remove skin if preferred, using kitchen shears for easier removal.
  2. Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until well combined.
  3. Marinate Salmon: Add salmon cubes to the marinade and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour to enhance flavor.
  4. Cook Salmon: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add salmon cubes in batches, cooking 2-3 minutes per side until cooked through and crisp, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
  5. Thicken Sauce: Pour reserved marinade into skillet with salmon and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the salmon.
  6. Assemble Bowls: Place a bed of cooked white rice in bowls. Top with honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame arranged creatively.
  7. Drizzle with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle sriracha mayo over the assembled bowls. Sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes and sesame seeds according to taste.
  8. Serve: Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh and balanced flavors of your Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls.

Notes

  • Remove salmon skin if you prefer a skinless dish; the skin is edible but can affect texture.
  • Marinate salmon in refrigerator to ensure food safety.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet to allow proper searing and avoid steaming.
  • Cook salmon in batches if needed to maintain heat and texture.
  • Adjust sriracha mayo quantity to match your desired spice level.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce to keep sodium levels moderate in the dish.
  • Substitute rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice to reduce carbs if desired.
