Ingredients
- For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each, skinless or skin-on)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- For the Spicy Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- For the Bowls:
- 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
- 1 cup shredded carrots
- 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup edamame, shelled and cooked
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Fresh cilantro or basil, for garnish (optional)
- Lime wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sriracha, minced garlic, and lime juice. Set aside. - Cook the Salmon:
Pat salmon fillets dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add salmon fillets, skin-side down if using skin-on, and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes, or until nearly cooked through. - Glaze the Salmon:
Pour the prepared sauce over the salmon in the skillet. Let it bubble and thicken for 1-2 minutes, spooning the sauce over the fillets until they are glazed and cooked through. - Assemble the Bowls:
Divide cooked rice among four bowls.
Top each with a salmon fillet.
Arrange shredded carrots, cucumber slices, and edamame around the salmon.
Drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the bowls. - Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with lime wedges on the side.
Tip: Adjust the sriracha to your preferred spice level. For extra crunch, add sliced radishes or avocado!
