  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

For the Bowl:

  • 2 cups cooked rice (white, brown, or cauliflower rice)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced
  • 1/4 cup edamame (optional)

For the Spicy Mayo:

Instructions

  • Prepare the Salmon:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sriracha, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
    • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes.

  • Assemble the Bowls:
    • Divide cooked rice between two bowls.
    • Arrange shredded carrots, cucumber slices, avocado, edamame, and pickled ginger around the bowl.
    • Place the salmon fillet on top and drizzle with spicy mayo.
    • Garnish with green onions and sesame seeds.
  • Serve:
    • Serve immediately with extra sriracha or soy sauce on the side.
