How to make Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

Ingredients:

  • 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups cooked white rice
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • 1 cup cooked edamame
  • ½ cup sriracha mayo
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Sesame seeds

Directions:

  1. Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. Remove the skin if you prefer. (It’s edible, but some people don’t like it.)
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients: soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water.
  3. Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and marinate for up to 1 hour, but at least 20 minutes for the best flavor. (Remember to marinate in the refrigerator for food safety.)
  4. Once marinated, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of oil. Add the salmon cubes, keeping the remaining marinade for later. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked through and crispy.
  5. Add the reserved marinade to the skillet with the cooked salmon. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Assemble your bowls with a bed of cooked rice. Top with honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame.
  7. Drizzle sriracha mayo over the bowls and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds if desired.
  8. Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls immediately and enjoy!

How to serve Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

Serve these bowls hot, straight from the skillet. They look beautiful with the colorful ingredients arranged nicely. You can enjoy them for lunch or dinner, and they are also great for meal prep. Just pack each ingredient separately and assemble them when you’re ready to eat.

How to store Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

To store leftovers, keep the components in separate containers. The salmon can stay in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The rice and vegetables can also last in the fridge for a couple of days. Just reheat the salmon gently before serving again.

Tips to make Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Adjust the level of sriracha in the marinade and mayo to suit your taste.
  • Try marinating the salmon overnight for an even richer flavor.
  • If you’re short on time, you can grill or bake the salmon instead of pan-frying.

Variation

For a different twist, you can use chicken or tofu instead of salmon. The marinade works well with both, allowing you to cater to different dietary preferences.

FAQs

  1. Can I use frozen salmon?
    Yes, you can use frozen salmon. Just be sure to thaw it completely before marinating.

  2. What can I serve with the bowls?
    These bowls pair well with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.

  3. Can I make this dish ahead of time?
    Yes, you can prepare the salmon and marinade a day in advance. Just cook it fresh before serving.
