Description
Spicy Salmon Rice Bowls are a fresh, flavorful meal made with tender salmon, warm rice, crisp vegetables, and a creamy spicy finish. They come together quickly, feel satisfying without being heavy, and work beautifully for both weeknight dinners and meal prep lunches.
Ingredients
1 pound salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into cubes
2 cups cooked jasmine rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cucumber, diced
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup shredded carrots
2 green onions, sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 sheet nori, cut into thin strips optional
1/4 cup spicy mayo
1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
1. Pat the salmon dry, cut it into cubes, and place it in a bowl. Mix the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, and black pepper, then toss with the salmon until coated.
2. Prepare the rice and toppings. Cook the rice if needed, dice the cucumber, slice the avocado, shred the carrots, and slice the green onions.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned on the edges and cooked through.
4. Divide the rice among bowls and top with the salmon, cucumber, avocado, carrots, and green onions.
5. Drizzle with spicy mayo, sprinkle with sesame seeds, finish with lime juice, and serve immediately.
Notes
Pat the salmon dry before seasoning so it sears better in the pan.
Add the avocado and sauce just before serving for the freshest texture.
Use less sriracha for a milder bowl or add extra for more heat.
