Ingredients
Salmon
- 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
Bowls
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- ½ cup sriracha mayo
- Red pepper flakes (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the salmon: Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. You can remove the skin or keep it on according to your preference.
- Make the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce or tamari, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water to create the marinade.
- Marinate the salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour for enhanced flavor.
- Cook the salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil. Add the salmon cubes (reserve the marinade) and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, allowing the salmon to develop a nice crispy exterior.
- Thicken the sauce: Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the salmon and cook until the sauce thickens and coats the salmon thoroughly.
- Assemble the bowls: On a serving plate or bowl, place a bed of cooked white rice. Top with the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber, and cooked edamame.
- Add the finishing touches: Drizzle sriracha mayo on top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds for extra flavor and texture. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Marinating the salmon longer enhances flavor but is not essential for a quick meal.
- You can keep the skin on the salmon if desired, just adjust cooking time slightly.
- Sriracha mayo can be made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha sauce to taste if not store-bought.
- Use low sodium soy sauce or tamari to keep sodium levels moderate.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha according to your spice preference.
