Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 tbsp Honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil (toasted)
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar (optional for tanginess)
- 1 cup Jasmine rice (or brown rice or quinoa)
- 2 cups Water (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional for seasoning rice)
- 1 Avocado (sliced)
- ½ cup Cucumber (diced)
- ½ cup Edamame (shelled)
- ½ cup Carrots (julienned or shredded)
- 2 Green onions (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise (regular or light)
- 1–2 tsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh squeezed)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Pickled ginger
- 1 tbsp Nori strips
- ¼ cup Seaweed salad
- 2 Radishes (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions using water or broth, adding a pinch of salt if desired. Once it’s cooked, let it rest while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
- Whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and toss with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to absorb that wonderful flavor.
- Dice the cucumber, julienne or shred the carrots, and chop the green onions. Slice the avocado just before you’re ready to serve for optimal freshness.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon with all the sauce and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and flaky. Remember, avoid stirring too much to get that perfect sear.
- Combine mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a separate bowl. Adjust the spiciness and acidity to your liking.
- Assemble your salmon bowls by starting with a generous scoop of rice, topping with the cooked salmon and colorful veggies. Drizzle with the creamy sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and add optional garnishes like pickled ginger and nori strips.
Notes
Marinate the salmon ahead of time for quicker prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
