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
- Rinse the rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions with water or broth and a pinch of salt. Set aside to let it rest.
- Mix together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a bowl. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and toss it with the marinade. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Prepare the veggies by dicing the cucumber, julienning or shredding the carrots, and chopping the green onions. Slice the avocado just before serving to preserve its creamy texture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and flaky. Be gentle, and avoid stirring too much to maintain those beautiful pieces.
- Combine the mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a separate bowl. Taste and adjust the spice and acidity as preferred.
- Assemble your bowls, starting with a generous scoop of rice as your base. Top it with the golden salmon and vibrant vegetables. Drizzle with the zesty sauce, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and add optional garnishes for that perfect touch!
