How to Make Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls
Ingredients
- 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
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, diced
- 1 cucumber, sliced
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- ½ cup sriracha mayo
- Red pepper flakes
- Sesame seeds
Directions
- Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. Remove the skin if you prefer. Using kitchen shears makes it easier to remove the skin from the salmon.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade: soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water. Whisking ensures all the ingredients are fully combined.
- 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. Marinating the salmon in the refrigerator is recommended for food safety.
- 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. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crisp. Don’t overcrowd the skillet, as this will cause the salmon to steam instead of sear. Cook in batches if necessary. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Add the reserved marinade to the skillet with the cooked salmon. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. The sauce will thicken as it reduces.
- Assemble your bowls with a bed of cooked rice. Add the honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame. Get creative with the arrangement of the ingredients in your bowls.
- Drizzle the sriracha mayo over the bowls. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds, if desired. Adjust the amount of sriracha mayo to your liking.
- Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls immediately and enjoy!
