Ingredients

  • Salmon fillets, skin-on

  • Garlic, minced

  • Ginger, grated

  • Rice vinegar

  • Sesame oil

  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Salmon: Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

  2. Marinate: Coat the salmon fillets with the marinade and let sit for about 10 minutes.

  3. Cook the Salmon: Heat olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes until crispy. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the salmon is fully cooked and flaky.

  4. Prepare the Bowls: Divide cooked rice into serving bowls. Arrange sliced avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions around the rice.

  5. Assemble: Place the crispy salmon fillets on top of the rice. Drizzle with spicy mayo and sprinkle sesame seeds over the bowl.

  6. Serve: Garnish with nori strips and lime wedges. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • Protein Swap: Use shrimp, tofu, or chicken instead of salmon.

  • Grain Options: Substitute rice with quinoa, cauliflower rice, or soba noodles.

  • Spice Level: Adjust the amount of sriracha to control the heat.

  • Additional Toppings: Add edamame, pickled ginger, or radishes for extra flavor and texture.
