Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
- 1 tbsp Honey (or brown sugar)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil (toasted)
- 1 tsp Rice vinegar (optional for tanginess)
- 1 cup Jasmine rice (or brown rice or quinoa)
- 2 cups Water (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
- 1 pinch Salt (optional for seasoning rice)
- 1 Avocado (sliced)
- ½ cup Cucumber (diced)
- ½ cup Edamame (shelled)
- ½ cup Carrots (julienned or shredded)
- 2 Green onions (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- ¼ cup Mayonnaise (regular or light)
- 1–2 tsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 1 tsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh squeezed)
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Pickled ginger
- 1 tbsp Nori strips
- ¼ cup Seaweed salad
- 2 Radishes (thinly sliced)
Instructions
- Prep the Rice: Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions with water or broth and a pinch of salt. Let it rest while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Marinate the Salmon: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and toss them in the marinade. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to soak up all that delicious flavor.
- Prepare the Veggies: Dice the cucumber, julienne or shred the carrots, and chop the green onions. Slice the avocado just before serving to maintain its vibrant color.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon and cook for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and flaky. Avoid stirring too much to allow for that beautiful sear.
- Make the Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil. Adjust the spiciness and acidity to your liking.
- Assemble Your Bowl: Start with a scoop of rice at the bottom, then top with the cooked salmon, cucumber, carrots, edamame, and any other vegetables you love. Drizzle with the creamy sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and add optional garnishes like pickled ginger and nori strips.
Notes
Make ahead by prepping veggies and sauce in advance. Use tofu or chicken as protein substitutes if preferred.
