Ingredients
Scale
Salmon Marinade
- 1 pound Salmon fillets, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Tamari for gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves Minced Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Water
Bowl Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked Rice
- 1 large Avocado, sliced
- 1 cup Cucumber, chopped
- 1 cup Cooked Edamame
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha Mayo (mayo mixed with sriracha)
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Cut fresh salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
- Make Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until thoroughly combined.
- Marinate Salmon: Add the cubed salmon to the marinade and gently toss to coat all pieces. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow flavors to infuse.
- Cook Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil. Place the marinated salmon cubes in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
- Simmer Sauce: Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet with the salmon and simmer for 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and glaze the salmon.
- Assemble Bowls: Begin by placing cooked rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with cooked salmon, sliced avocado, chopped cucumber, and cooked edamame for a balance of textures and flavors.
- Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle each bowl with sriracha mayo to add a creamy, spicy kick. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if extra heat is desired, and finish with a scattering of sesame seeds for flavor and crunch.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of regular soy sauce.
- Adjust sriracha levels according to your heat preference.
- Marinate the salmon for longer than 20 minutes if time permits for deeper flavor.
- Sriracha mayo can be prepared by mixing equal parts mayonnaise and sriracha sauce; adjust ratio for desired spice.
- Use fresh, ripe avocados to add creaminess and balance the spicy and tangy flavors.
- Cook edamame according to package instructions if using frozen.
