Ingredients

Scale

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, to taste
Sesame seeds, to taste

Instructions

Cut salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. Remove the skin if desired (kitchen shears can make this easier).
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water until well combined.
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade and let them soak for at least 20 minutes, or up to an hour in the refrigerator.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil.
Add the salmon cubes to the skillet, reserving some marinade for later. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
Pour in the reserved marinade and cook for a few more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Assemble bowls by starting with a bed of cooked rice, then top with the honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame.
Drizzle sriracha mayo on top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds as desired.
Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

Feel free to use frozen salmon if fresh isn’t available; just adjust the cooking time accordingly.
Add more vegetables like bell peppers or shredded carrots for extra nutrition and color.
Taste the marinade before adding the salmon to adjust sweetness or heat to your preference.
Substitute chicken or tofu for salmon if desired, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
For meal prep, the marinade and vegetables can be prepared ahead of time.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
