Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed and cut into bite sized pieces
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sriracha
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten free)
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
Cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving
1 cup sliced cucumber, for topping
1 avocado, sliced, for topping
Sesame seeds, for garnish
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, and minced garlic to create the glaze. Set aside half of the glaze for serving.
In a medium bowl, toss the salmon pieces with the avocado oil.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Pour the reserved half of the glaze over the salmon in the skillet. Cook for 1-2 minutes, tossing gently, until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the salmon. Remove from heat.
Assemble your bowls: divide the cooked rice or quinoa among four bowls.
Top the rice with the glazed salmon pieces.
Arrange cucumber slices and avocado slices in each bowl.
Drizzle the remaining fresh glaze over the bowls.
Garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
For a gluten free option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce in the glaze.
You can adjust the sriracha amount to control the spice level in your salmon bowl recipe.
Prepare the rice and chop the vegetables ahead of time for faster assembly on busy weeknights.
