Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon, skin removed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons sriracha
  • 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice or preferred grain/greens
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • 1 cucumber, sliced
  • Cilantro lime dressing ingredients (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your base: Cook 2 cups of brown rice or your chosen grain according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, sriracha, and low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos).
  3. Cook the salmon: Heat the avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned on one side.
  4. Glaze the salmon: Pour the prepared glaze over the salmon. Toss gently to coat all pieces. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked rice among four bowls. Top each bowl evenly with the glazed salmon pieces.
  6. Add toppings: Arrange the sliced avocado and cucumber in each bowl.
  7. Finish the dish: Drizzle generously with cilantro lime dressing. Serve immediately.
