To make these Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls, you will need fresh, high-quality salmon and some pantry staples to create the glaze. Focus on using low-sodium soy sauce or tamari to control the saltiness.

• 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
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 avocado
• 1 cucumber, sliced
• 1 cup edamame, cooked
• 1/2 cup sriracha mayo

These bowls are very forgiving. Follow these tips to tweak the recipe to your liking.

• Vegetable swap: Feel free to swap in broccoli, shredded carrots, or spinach instead of cucumber.
• Salmon prep: To easily remove the salmon skin, place it in a baking dish, skin side up, and pour boiling water on top. Lift the skin from the corner and peel it off.
• Rice alternatives: Use brown rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a different texture.
• Spice level: Adjust the sriracha quantity if you prefer a milder bowl.

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

Cut your salmon into 1-inch cubes. You can remove the skin based on your preference, but salmon without skin often absorbs the marinade more effectively.

Step 2: Create the Marinade

Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water in a large bowl. This ensures every piece of salmon gets an even coating of flavor.

Step 3: Marinate the Fish

Add the cubed salmon into the bowl with the marinade. Allow it to soak for at least 20 minutes, though you can leave it for up to an hour for more intense flavor.

Step 4: Sear the Salmon

Heat a splash of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces, leaving the excess marinade in the bowl for now. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until you achieve a nice crisp crust on the outside.

Step 5: Thicken the Sauce

Pour the remaining marinade into the skillet. Continue cooking until the sauce bubbles and thickens significantly, coating the salmon pieces entirely.

Step 6: Assemble the Bowls

Place a bed of cooked rice in four bowls. Top each with the glazed salmon, fresh avocado slices, cucumber, and edamame. Drizzle generously with sriracha mayo and garnish with sesame seeds or red pepper flakes.

Serve these bowls warm immediately after assembly. They pair well with a side of miso soup or a refreshing seaweed salad to complete your meal.

• Serve with a wedge of lime for an extra pop of acidity.
• Add sliced green onions for a fresh, oniony crunch.
• Pair with iced jasmine tea for a light, balanced dinner.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, warm the salmon gently in a skillet over low heat or briefly in the microwave. If reheating in the microwave, cover with a damp paper towel to ensure the salmon stays moist.

Can I use frozen salmon?

Yes, ensure it is fully thawed and pat it dry before marinating to avoid watering down the flavor.

Is this recipe good for meal prep?

It is excellent for meal prep. Keep the sauce separate if you prefer, or toss it before storing.

What if I don’t like sriracha?

You can substitute a mild sweet chili sauce or a little ginger and honey if you want to avoid the spice.

Can I bake the salmon?

You can bake the salmon on a parchment-lined tray at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, though searing provides more texture.
