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
- In a mason jar, combine all marinade/sauce ingredients, seal tightly, and shake well. Reserve about half of the sauce for serving.
- 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.
- In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and sriracha to make the sriracha mayo. Adjust the spice level to taste.
- While the salmon marinates, prepare all vegetables, rice, and marinated cucumbers.
- 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.
- To assemble, add rice to bowls and top with mango, edamame, green onions, cilantro, carrots, and marinated cucumbers. Add the cooked salmon on top.
- 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.
