Ingredients
- 4 (6 oz) salmon fillets, skin-on preferred
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp high smoke point oil (e.g., avocado, grapeseed)
- 2 tbsp Sriracha (adjust to taste)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos)
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 cups cooked brown rice or quinoa, for serving
- 4 cups mixed greens or spinach, for serving
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Reserve approximately 1/4 cup of the glaze for finishing.
- Cook the Salmon (Pan-Seared Method): Pat salmon fillets very dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down; cook for 4-6 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip, brush generously with glaze, then transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through and flakes easily (internal temperature 145°F/63°C).
- Cook the Salmon (Baked Method): Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Brush generously with glaze. Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky.
- Assemble Bowls: Divide cooked grains and fresh greens among four serving bowls. Top each with a cooked salmon fillet. Arrange sliced avocado, cucumber, shredded carrots, and green onions around the salmon. Drizzle with the reserved glaze and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
