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 (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. You can remove the skin if you prefer, but it’s edible if you like. Using kitchen shears can help make it easier to take off the skin.
In a large bowl, whisk together the marinade: soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water. This ensures all the ingredients mix well.
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade. Let them marinate for up to 1 hour or at least 20 minutes for the best flavor. Remember to marinate in the refrigerator for food safety.
After marinating, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the salmon cubes to the skillet, keeping the remaining marinade for later. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crisp. Don’t overcrowd the skillet to prevent steaming; cook in batches if needed. The salmon is done when it easily flakes with a fork.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the cooked salmon. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble your bowls with a layer of cooked rice. Add the honey sriracha salmon on top, along with diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame. Feel free to get creative with your bowl’s layout.
Drizzle sriracha mayo over the bowls and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds if desired. Adjust the amount of sriracha mayo to your taste.
Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls immediately and enjoy!
