Flavorful Spicy Salmon Rice Bowl Easy Recipe Guide
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- To assemble the rice bowls, divide the fluffy jasmine rice among two bowls. Top with the sliced spicy salmon, avocado, cucumber, and julienned carrots.
- Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added crunch and flavor. Drizzle any leftover marinade over the toppings if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
