Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs salmon fillet, skin on or off
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (or more, to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 3/4 cups water
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 cup edamame, shelled
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, sriracha, soy sauce, honey (or maple syrup), ginger, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  2. Place salmon in a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over salmon, ensuring even coating. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
  3. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear.
  4. Combine rinsed rice and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until water is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  7. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place marinated salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flakes easily.
  8. Alternatively, heat 1 tablespoon oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  9. Divide cooked rice evenly among four bowls.
  10. Top rice with cooked salmon.
  11. Add diced avocado, edamame, shredded carrots, and chopped red onion.
  12. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds (optional).
  13. Serve immediately with lime wedges (optional).

Notes

  • Adjust sriracha amount to your spice preference.
  • Substitute salmon with chicken, tofu, or shrimp, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • Add other vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, snap peas, or mango.
  • Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or peanut sauce.
  • This recipe is great for meal prepping; cook rice and salmon ahead of time and assemble bowls before serving to prevent avocado browning. Store separately in the refrigerator.
