Full Recipe:
For the Salmon:
4 (4–6 ounce) salmon fillets
3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons water
For the Bowls:
2 cups cooked white rice
1 avocado, diced
1 cucumber, sliced
1 cup cooked edamame
½ cup sriracha mayo
Optional Garnishes:
Red pepper flakes
Sesame seeds
Prepare the Salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. If preferred, remove the skin using kitchen shears for easier handling.
Make the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha sauce, minced garlic, and water until well combined.
Marinate the Salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour, to allow the flavors to meld.
Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Add the marinated salmon cubes to the skillet, reserving the remaining marinade. Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crisp.
Thicken the Sauce: Add the reserved marinade to the skillet with the cooked salmon. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top with the honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame.
Garnish and Serve: Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the assembled bowls. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
