Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls: A Sweet & Spicy Delight

These Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls are a perfect balance of sweet and spicy flavors. The marinated salmon, cooked until crispy, pairs wonderfully with a base of jasmine rice, crunchy cucumber, creamy avocado, and edamame. The honey and sriracha sauce creates a rich, flavorful coating for the salmon, while the sriracha mayo brings extra creaminess to the dish. Ideal for a quick dinner or meal prep, this dish is customizable to your liking with various veggie swaps or rice alternatives like cauliflower rice for a lighter option. It's quick, nutritious, and so satisfying.

Ingredients

• 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon filets
  
  

• 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  
  

• 2 tablespoons honey
  
  

• 2 tablespoons sriracha
  
  

• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  
  

• 3 tablespoons water
  
  

• 2 cups cooked white rice (or cauliflower rice for paleo)
  
  

• 1 avocado, sliced
  
  

• 1 cucumber, sliced
  
  

• 1 cup cooked edamame
  
  

• ½ cup sriracha mayo

Directions

1. Cut the salmon into 1-inch cubes. Remove the skin if preferred.
   
   

2. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, garlic, and water to make the marinade.
   
   

3. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and let them marinate for at least 20 minutes, up to 1 hour.
   
   

4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Add the marinated salmon to the skillet (reserve the remaining marinade).
   
   

5. Cook the salmon for 2-3 minutes on each side until crispy and browned.
   
   

6. Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet and cook until the sauce thickens.
   
   

7. Assemble your bowls by starting with a bed of rice, followed by the cooked salmon, sliced avocado, cucumber, and edamame.
   
   

8. Drizzle with sriracha mayo, sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
