Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp honey
3 tbsp sriracha
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
2 cups cooked rice or grain base
1 cup sliced cucumber
1 avocado, sliced
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, and soy sauce to create the glaze. Set aside.
Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the salmon pieces to the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until mostly cooked through.
Pour the prepared honey sriracha glaze over the salmon. Stir gently to coat the salmon pieces completely. Cook for 1-2 more minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and the salmon is cooked through.
Assemble your bowls: Divide the cooked rice or grain base among four bowls.
Top the rice with the glazed salmon pieces.
Arrange the sliced cucumber and avocado around the salmon.
Garnish each bowl with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds.
Notes
For a gluten-free option, use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
You can substitute brown rice with quinoa or cauliflower rice for a different texture.
Adjust the amount of sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
This recipe is great for meal prep; store the sauce separately if preparing ahead of time.
