Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Glaze

  • 4 fresh skin-on salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Rice Base

  • 2 cups cooked rice (jasmine, basmati, or brown rice)

Vegetables and Garnishes

  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook your choice of rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender. Fluff with a fork and keep warm while you prepare the salmon.
  2. Make the Honey Sriracha Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Adjust the proportions depending on how sweet or spicy you prefer the glaze.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil it. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes without moving to crisp the skin. Flip the salmon and pour the honey sriracha glaze over the top, cooking an additional 3 to 4 minutes until cooked through and glossy with glaze.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice into bowls, then top with glazed salmon fillets. Add your choice of fresh veggies like cucumber, shredded carrot, and sliced avocado. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds for a perfect finishing touch. Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving.

Notes

  • Use skin-on salmon to keep the fillet moist and get a crispy texture.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan; cook salmon in batches if necessary to maintain even heat.
  • Taste the glaze before cooking to balance the sweet and spicy notes to your preference.
  • Prep vegetables ahead of time to save cooking time.
  • Allow salmon to rest a couple of minutes after cooking to seal in juices.
