Description

A delightful Salmon Bowl with tender salmon, fluffy jasmine rice, and vibrant veggies, perfect for a cozy dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce (low-sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tbsp Honey (or brown sugar)
  • 1 clove Garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil (toasted)
  • 1 tsp Rice vinegar (optional for tanginess)
  • 1 cup Jasmine rice (or brown rice or quinoa)
  • 2 cups Water (or chicken broth for extra flavor)
  • 1 pinch Salt (optional for seasoning rice)
  • 1 Avocado (sliced)
  • ½ cup Cucumber (diced)
  • ½ cup Edamame (shelled)
  • ½ cup Carrots (julienned or shredded)
  • 2 Green onions (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • ¼ cup Mayonnaise (regular or light)
  • 12 tsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Lime juice (fresh squeezed)
  • 1 tsp Sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Pickled ginger
  • 1 tbsp Nori strips
  • ¼ cup Seaweed salad
  • 2 Radishes (thinly sliced)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package directions with water or chicken broth and a pinch of salt. Let it rest while you prepare the rest.
  2. Prepare the marinade by combining soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and rice vinegar in a mixing bowl.
  3. Marinate the salmon by cutting it into bite-sized cubes and tossing with the marinade. Let it sit for about 10 minutes.
  4. Chop the veggies: dice the cucumber, julienne or shred the carrots, and chop the green onions. Slice the avocado just before serving.
  5. Cook the salmon in a skillet over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and flaky.
  6. Make the sauce by combining mayonnaise, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil in a bowl.
  7. Assemble the bowl by starting with rice, then topping with salmon and veggies. Drizzle with sauce, sprinkle sesame seeds, and add garnishes if desired.

Notes

Make-ahead advice: Marinate salmon in the morning. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
