Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 (4-6 ounce) salmon filets
- 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 3 tablespoons water
Bowls and Toppings
- 2 cups cooked white rice
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Sliced cucumber, as desired
- 1 cup cooked edamame
- 1/2 cup sriracha mayo
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare Salmon: Cut salmon filets into 1-inch cubes to allow even marination and quick cooking.
- Make Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together low sodium soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until well combined to create a balanced sweet and spicy marinade.
- Marinate Salmon: Add the salmon cubes into the marinade, coating them thoroughly. Let them sit for at least 20 minutes to absorb the flavors deeply.
- Cook Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Place the marinated salmon cubes in the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Assemble Bowls: Use cooked white rice as the base in each bowl. Top with the cooked salmon cubes, sliced avocado, fresh cucumber slices, and cooked edamame for a nutritious, colorful dish.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the assembled bowls with sriracha mayo for a creamy spicy kick, then garnish with freshly chopped parsley to add freshness and color before serving.
Notes
- Marinate salmon for a minimum of 20 minutes, but up to 1 hour for deeper flavor.
- Use low sodium soy sauce or tamari to control salt levels.
- Cook salmon just until golden to avoid overcooking and dryness.
- Sriracha mayo can be made by mixing mayonnaise with sriracha to taste.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
