Why Make This Recipe

Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls are a delightful mix of sweet and spicy flavors. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are great for heart health, while the fresh veggies add fiber and vitamins. Plus, it’s easy to make and perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a special gathering.

How to Make Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls

Ingredients:

4 (4-6 ounce) salmon fillets
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 teaspoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons water
2 cups cooked white rice
1 avocado, diced
1 cucumber, sliced
1 cup cooked edamame
½ cup sriracha mayo
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

Cut your salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes. You can remove the skin if you prefer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce (or tamari), honey, sriracha, minced garlic, and water.
Add the salmon cubes to the marinade. Let them marinate for up to 1 hour, but at least 20 minutes is good. It’s better to marinate in the refrigerator for food safety.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat with a little oil. Add the marinated salmon cubes to the skillet, keeping some marinade for later. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the salmon is cooked and slightly crispy.
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet with the salmon and cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens.
Assemble your bowls with cooked rice at the bottom. Add the honey sriracha salmon, diced avocado, sliced cucumber, and cooked edamame.
Drizzle sriracha mayo over the top. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes and sesame seeds if you like.
Serve the Honey Sriracha Salmon Bowls right away and enjoy!
