Make this flavorful honey sriracha salmon bowl for a fast, satisfying weeknight dinner. This recipe balances sweet and spicy tastes with tender salmon over fresh ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 1 cup cooked white rice or quinoa
  • 1 cup chopped fresh vegetables (like cucumber, carrots, or edamame)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare your rice or quinoa according to package directions. Keep warm.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, and rice vinegar to make the glaze.
  3. Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the salmon cubes to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Pour the prepared glaze over the salmon and toss gently to coat. Cook for 1 minute until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat.
  6. Assemble your bowls: Divide the cooked rice or quinoa among serving bowls.
  7. Top the rice with the glazed salmon pieces and your fresh, chopped vegetables.
  8. Drizzle the sesame oil over the bowls.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving immediately.

Notes

  • For meal prep, store the salmon, rice, and vegetables separately. Assemble just before eating to keep the vegetables crisp.
  • If you prefer a milder spice level, reduce the sriracha to 2 teaspoons and add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
  • Use air fryer salmon bites for an alternative cooking method; cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes until crispy.
