Description

This Salmon Rice Bowl is a vibrant, flavor-packed meal featuring marinated salmon, fresh vegetables, fluffy rice, and a spicy sriracha mayo drizzle. Perfect for a nutritious lunch or quick dinner with Asian-inspired flair.


Ingredients

2 tablespoons avocado oil (or olive oil)

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon fish sauce

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1/2 tablespoon rice vinegar

1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

2 teaspoons garlic, minced

Pinch of ground black pepper

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1/2 teaspoon ginger, grated

1/2 teaspoon chili garlic sauce

Pinch of kosher salt

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon sriracha (more to taste)

1 pound fresh salmon, skin off and cut into 1-inch cubes

1 tablespoon avocado oil (for cooking)

2 cups mango, diced

2 cups edamame, shelled

1 cup green onions, sliced

1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

1/2 cup carrots, julienned

1 batch marinated cucumbers

4 cups cooked rice (such as basmati)


Instructions

  1. In a mason jar, combine all marinade/sauce ingredients, seal tightly, and shake well. Reserve about half of the sauce for serving.
  2. Place cubed salmon in a bowl or silicone bag. Pour just under half of the marinade over the salmon, toss to coat, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to make the sriracha mayo. Adjust the spice level to taste.
  4. While the salmon marinates, prepare all vegetables, rice, and marinated cucumbers.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated salmon pieces in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until fully cooked. Let rest for 5 minutes.
  6. To assemble, add rice to bowls and top with mango, edamame, green onions, cilantro, carrots, and marinated cucumbers. Add the cooked salmon on top.
  7. Drizzle with sriracha mayo and reserved marinade. Optionally, top with sesame seeds.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute salmon with crispy tofu or tempeh.

Use cauliflower rice or shredded cabbage for a low-carb option.

Grill the salmon for a smoky flavor variation.

Adjust chili garlic sauce and sriracha for your desired spice level.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat salmon and rice separately from the toppings.
