Ingredients

Scale

Salmon and Sauce

  • 4 salmon fillets (fresh or thawed)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Rice Base

  • 2 cups cooked jasmine rice or brown rice

Vegetables and Toppings

  • 1 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 2 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rice: Cook your choice of jasmine or brown rice according to package instructions until fluffy and tender, then set aside.
  2. Make the Honey Sriracha Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined to create a vibrant glaze.
  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook until the skin is crispy. Flip the fillets, then brush generously with the honey sriracha sauce. Continue cooking until the salmon is flaky and cooked through, spooning additional sauce on top for extra flavor.
  4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice among bowls. Top each with glazed salmon fillets, then add fresh vegetables such as sliced cucumbers, avocado, and scallions. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and drizzle with any remaining sauce for added flavor.

Notes

  • Use wild-caught salmon if possible for richer flavor and better texture.
  • Do not overcook the salmon; remove it when slightly translucent to retain moisture.
  • Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • Let salmon rest a few minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
  • Jasmine rice pairs beautifully with the glaze and toppings for an aromatic touch.
