Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each), skin on or off
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust for heat)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups jasmine rice, cooked
- 1 large cucumber, sliced
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- Optional: Shredded carrots or edamame
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel to ensure the glaze sticks and the fish sears properly. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. Reserve two tablespoons of this sauce in a separate small container to drizzle over the finished bowls later.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Brush a generous amount of the honey sriracha mixture over each fillet, covering the tops and sides. Slide the tray into the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. For an extra-crispy, caramelized finish, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Watch closely to prevent the honey from burning. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.
- Divide the cooked jasmine rice among four bowls. Place a cooked salmon fillet on one side of each bowl. Arrange the sliced cucumber, avocado, and any optional veggies like carrots or edamame in the remaining space. Drizzle the reserved sauce over the salmon and vegetables. Finish the bowls with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced green onions for a fresh, crunchy garnish. Serve immediately while the salmon is warm.
