Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
2 tablespoons honey
1½ tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
1 garlic clove, finely grated
½ teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups cooked jasmine or brown rice
1 cup steamed edamame
1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
1 avocado, sliced
½ cup shredded carrots
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1 teaspoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, lime juice, and olive oil until smooth.
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, coating evenly. Let marinate for 15–60 minutes.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of oil. Sear salmon, skin side down, for 4–5 minutes. Flip and cook another 3–4 minutes, brushing with extra glaze until caramelized.
Alternatively, bake at 400°F for 12–14 minutes or air fry at 390°F for 9–10 minutes, glazing halfway through.
Assemble bowls with rice as the base. Add edamame, cucumber, avocado, and shredded carrots. Top with salmon, drizzle leftover glaze, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
Notes
Adjust spice by reducing sriracha or adding more honey for a milder flavor.
For meal prep, store each component separately to maintain texture.
Use cauliflower rice or tofu for a lighter, low-calorie, or vegan version.
Pat salmon dry before cooking to ensure a crisp, caramelized glaze.
