Ingredients

Scale

Salmon:

  • 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 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

  • Prepare Salmon: Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. Remove the skin if you prefer (it’s edible, but some people don’t like it). Beginner Note: Using kitchen shears makes it easier to remove the skin from the salmon.
  • Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade: soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water. Beginner Note: Whisking ensures all the ingredients are fully combined.
  • Marinate Salmon: Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and marinate for up to 1 hour, but ideally at least 20 minutes. The longer the salmon marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Beginner Note: Marinating the salmon in the refrigerator is recommended for food safety.
  • Cook Salmon: Once the salmon is done marinating, heat a large skillet (a non-stick skillet is ideal) over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the salmon cubes to the skillet, reserving the remaining marinade for later. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crisp. Beginner Note: Don’t overcrowd the skillet, as this will cause the salmon to steam instead of sear. Cook the salmon in batches if necessary. The salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.
  • Thicken Sauce: Add the reserved marinade to the skillet with the cooked salmon. Cook for a few minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly. Beginner Note: The sauce will thicken as it reduces.
  • Assemble Bowls: Assemble your bowls with a bed of cooked rice. Add the honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame. Beginner Note: Get creative with the arrangement of the ingredients in your bowls.
  • Drizzle with Sauce and Garnish: Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the bowls. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, if desired. Beginner Note: Adjust the amount of sriracha mayo to your liking.
  • Serve: Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the salmon.
  • Adjust sriracha to your spice preference.
  • Customize with your favorite toppings.
