Ingredients

  • 2 fillets salmon (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced
  • 1 whole cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 whole carrot, julienned
  • 0.25 cup green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • to taste sea salt and black pepper
  • for garnish sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  2. While the rice is cooking, prepare the spicy salmon. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, sriracha, honey, and rice vinegar to create a marinade.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then coat them with the marinade. Allow the salmon to marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  4. In a non-stick skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the marinated salmon fillets. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side (skin-side down if the skin is on), or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and slice the salmon into bite-sized pieces.
  5. To assemble the rice bowls, divide the fluffy jasmine rice among two bowls. Top with the sliced spicy salmon, avocado, cucumber, and julienned carrots.
  6. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the toppings if desired.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

💡 Chef's Notes

Adjust the spiciness by varying the amount of sriracha.
