Ingredients
Scale
For the Spicy Salmon:
- 2 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (or more for extra spice)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Rice Bowl:
- 2 cups cooked jasmine or sushi rice (or rice of choice)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 small carrot, julienned or shredded
- 2 tbsp sliced green onions
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- Pickled ginger (optional, for garnish)
For the Spicy Mayo Sauce:
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp lime juice
Instructions
- Prepare the Spicy Salmon:
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, sriracha sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, ginger, salt, and pepper. Coat the salmon fillets in this mixture, making sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for about 10-15 minutes. - Cook the Salmon:
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has a nice crispy crust on the outside. Remove the salmon from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before flaking it into bite-sized pieces. - Prepare the Rice Bowl:
While the salmon is cooking, prepare your rice bowls. Divide the cooked rice between two bowls, and then arrange the avocado slices, cucumber, shredded carrot, and green onions around the rice. - Make the Spicy Mayo Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame oil, and lime juice. Adjust the amount of sriracha depending on how spicy you want it. - Assemble the Rice Bowls:
Once the salmon is ready, flake it into the rice bowls. Drizzle the spicy mayo sauce over the top, then garnish with sesame seeds and pickled ginger (if desired). - Serve:
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Spicy Salmon Rice Bowl!
