Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on or skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- For the Glaze:
- 2–3 tablespoons Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- For Serving (Optional):
- Cooked white rice, brown rice, or quinoa
- Steamed or roasted broccoli florets
- Shelled edamame
- Fresh avocado, sliced
- Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
- Sliced green onions (scallions), for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Prep the Salmon. Pat salmon fillets very dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Step 2: Make the Glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together Sriracha, honey, soy sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and sesame oil until well combined.
- Step 3: Cook the Salmon. Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down (if applicable). Cook for 4-6 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip, reduce heat to medium. Cook an additional 2-4 minutes, brushing generously with the glaze during the last minute of cooking, until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Alternatively, bake salmon at 400°F (200°C) for 8-10 minutes, then brush with glaze and bake for another 3-5 minutes.
- Step 4: Prepare Sides. While salmon cooks, prepare your chosen grain (rice or quinoa) and vegetables according to package directions or your preferred method.
- Step 5: Assemble Bowls. Divide cooked rice/quinoa among four bowls. Arrange cooked vegetables and salmon over the rice.
- Step 6: Garnish and Serve. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Add avocado slices if desired. Serve immediately.
